Greek tax revenues are running well under expectations. A default looms in July unless the creditors give more money to Greece so that Greece can pay back the creditors. As convoluted as that sounds, that's precisely the way this madness works.

The creditors demand still more austerity but Tsipras said "no". Instead, Tsipras seeks an emergency meeting, but European Commission president Donald Tusk said "no" to that proposal.

Supposedly this standoff represents "renewed uncertainty".
