OREANDA-NEWS. February 13, 2015. The Greek stock exchange closed up 6.73 percent on Thursday after PM Alexis Tsipras talked up hopes of a deal on his country's rapidly expiring bailout at his first Brussels summit.

Greece's new anti-austerity government failed to secure an agreement to renegotiate the terms of the bailout in marathon talks between eurozone finance ministers on Wednesday, but hope remained that a solution may be found by a Monday Eurogroup meeting.
