  • Story Text: Japanese and South Korean stocks fell on Monday (July 6) morning after the Greeks overwhelmingly rejected austerity measures demanded in return for bailout money, putting in doubt its continued place in the eurozone.
    Japan's Nikkei shares fell 1.4 percent to 20200.15 at the opening of the trade. The broader Topix was at 1626.45.
    South Korean shares dropped with the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) down 1.32 percent, to 2,076.72 at 0903 local time (0003GMT).
    While early price actions have been choppy, dealers emphasised that markets were orderly with no signs of financial strain and expectations were high that the European Central Bank would step in early with a pledge of extra liquidity.
