Despite Warnings About A Grexit, Investors Remain Calm

However, warnings from the U.S. and Canada have done little to upset investors, who appear to firmly believe that the two sides will reach a deal in the 11th hour.

Concern Abroad

On Wednesday, US Treasury Chief Jacob Lew warned EU lawmakers that a Greek exit from the currency union would be devastating to global financial markets.

Lew appeared worried that European policy makers were complacent now that stability has returned to the region, and he cautioned that a crisis in Greece would almost certainly upset the balance in the region.

Lew and Oliver are heading to a Group of Seven meeting in Germany on Thursday, where Greek financial troubles will undoubtedly be a part of the discussion.

Investors Believe Resolution Is In Sight

Despite the tension surrounding Greek debt talks, investors have kept their calm. A Sentix survey of 1,000 investors showed that only 41 percent believe a Grexit is imminent.

That figure, though still high, marks a decline from the 49 percent who saw Greece leaving the euro in April. Although the debt talks have dragged on longer than anticipated, rhetoric from both sides suggest that there is a commitment to keeping Greece inside the eurozone, which has given investors confidence that the deal will be completed before Athens defaults.
