The European markets closed lower as investors awaited the outcome of the crucial meeting over financial aid to Greece, part of the several meetings scheduled over the coming days to decide the future of financial aid to Greece. The Asian markets ended mostly higher following a firm finish of global stocks on the preceding day, as well as driven by hopes for a deal between Greece and its international creditors.
