  • Story Text: European shares edged lower on Wednesday (July 15), with lingering uncertainty over Greece impacting the region's stock markets.
    Germany's DAX opened 0.1 percent lower as one Frankfurt trader warned that while Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will probably get the aid package through parliament, "another question is of course what the rest of Europe will do," he added.
    "There are seven EU countries where the parliaments have to approve the package. I am not so sure this will easily happen," said Fidel Helmer of private bank Hauck & Aufhaeuser.
    "I think that Greece will keep us busy for a long time to come which will of course influence the DAX, I fear negatively."
    Some two hours into trading, the DAX was virtually unchanged at 11,526 points, up 9 points or 0.08 percent.
