SYDNEY: The Australian dollar is slightly lower with nervousness in the financial world ahead of banks opening in Greece following the breakdown in debt talks.
At 6.30am AEST, the local unit was trading at US76.33 cents, down from US77.02 cents on Friday.
The talks between Greece and its creditors broke down last week after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras criticised the International Monetary Fund for rejecting his reform proposals, which raised fresh fears that the nation could default and leave the eurozone.
Early today Greece declared banks would remain closed tonight and capital controls would be imposed.
