Australian dollar drops on early Greek referendum results

THE Australian dollar is lower after early results of Greece’s bailout referendum pointed to a rejection of fresh austerity demands from international creditors. 


At 0630 AEST on Monday, the local unit was trading at 74.58 US cents, down from 75.84 cents on Friday.

With 50 per cent of ballots counted, more than 61 per cent of Greeks had voted ‘No’ in the controversial referendum that may trigger the country’s exit from the eurozone.
