DAX

Global stocks steady as Greece relief rally runs dry

KEEPING SCORE: In Europe, Germany's DAX was flat at 11,732 while the CAC-40 in France rose 0.1 percent to 5,145. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was also flat at 5,787. U.S. stocks were poised for a subdued opening, with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures largely unchanged.

GREECE RETREAT: For weeks, the Greek crisis has been the main driver in financial markets but now that discussions over a third bailout are set to begin, fears over the country's exit from the euro have faded — for a while at least.
