Morning Coffee Pre-Market Wall Street News


Cyprus Banks Reopen. After nearly being closed for nearly two weeks Cyprus banks reopened today. Cash withdrawals are now limited to only €300 per day. Time deposits cannot be withdrawn until maturity, and check-cashing is banned. Additionally, those leaving the country can take only €1K euros with them. The restrictions were put in place to prevent a run on the banks after the country agreed to a bailout that would tax those with deposits of €100,000 or more by 40%.
