Korea's Kospi is up 1.3%.
Australia's S&P/ASX is up 0.3%.
China's Shanghai Composite is up 0.0%.
Britain's FTSE 100 is up 0.3%.
Germany's Dax 30 is up 0.8%.
France's CAC 40 is up 1.1%.
Spain's IBEX 35 is up 0.7%.
Italy's FTSE MIB is up 0.6%.

the potential unknown consequences of
a Greek debt default.
Specifically, they are concerned about what could

Cashin.
