Foreign exchange traders at Barclays were in the office from Sunday afternoon to follow developments, and research and sales staff were monitoring the Greek referendum over the weekend, a spokesman for the bank said.

Creditors had wanted more spending cuts in exchange for extending the country’s multibillion euro bailout deal until November.

“We say very clearly that the door for talks remains open and the meeting of euro zone leaders tomorrow should be understood in this sense”.

Eurozone finance ministers say they expect to hear new proposals from Greece after the country voted to reject the terms of an worldwide bailout.
