New vocabulary : "Grexit"
There is a new jargon in the media lately - "Grexit". The new word refers to the potential exit of Greece from the Euro currency. After the recent election stalemate, the Greeks will be returning to the voting booths on 17th June.

Good news is that Greece’s pro-bailout New Democracy Party is currently leading in all 6 opinion polls published last Saturday. Party leader Antonis Samaras has warned that the country will go bankrupt and incur suffering if it ignores the loan agreements of international lenders. Both the EUR and AUD rebounded this morning.

Bankia's $24bn Bailout
Despite Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's strong words earlier last week that the country will not be seeking international bailout funds for its banks, its 4th largest bank asked the government for a life buoy over the weekend. Bankia will be getting an additional EUR 19bn (US$24bn) from the Spanish government, becoming the largest bank bailout in the nation's history.

Investors can't be too sure whether the Spanish banking crisis has seen its darkest days. On Friday, Standard & Poor's downgraded Bankia and four other Spanish banks (Bankinter, Banco Popular, Banca Civica) to junk. While Bankia came forward with its donation can, the rest of the banks has yet to raise their white flags.

Commodity stocks fall to three year lows

Olam was hammered down 4.3% wow to a three year low of $1.655. Also falling to new three year lows were coalminer Sakari Resources (-6.9% wow, $1.475) and palm oil giant Wilmar (-2.1% wow, $3.71). Noble performed better in comparison to these names with a 0.5% fall to $1.08 on Friday. Noble Group announced this morning that they have agreed to sell Temmar Port Terminal for 160m Reais (US$80.5mn) to Ultrapar Participacoes SA.

In the U.S, the Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index, which tracks 19 commodities ranging from copper to corn, also showed a slow down across most commodity prices, which fell 3.1% wow on the index.
