NEW YORK (AP) — Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks. No, most likely not a lot.

 Athens burst back into the spotlight Monday after its main stock index plunged 16 percent. The spasm of selling came after investors got their first chance to unload shares since the Greek stock market shut down five weeks ago. 
 
 But U.S. investors have relatively little to fear from the crash, even though there's a good chance they're in a mutual fund that has some Greek stocks. That's because funds typically keep only an iota of their portfolios there. 
 
 Consider funds that specialize in emerging markets, the type where it's most likely to see a Greek company. The average such fund with Greek stocks in its portfolio has just 0.5 percent of its holdings in them, according to the latest data from Morningstar. 
 
 Across all categories, the average amount is 0.3 percent, not including funds that are entirely clear of Greek stocks. That's why investors are more worried about the effects that Greece's debt problems will have on the rest of Europe than about Greece itself. 
 
 — WHICH TYPES OF FUNDS TYPICALLY HAVE GREEK STOCKS? 
 
 International stock funds, unsurprisingly. Roughly 19 percent of them have at least one stock from the debt-wracked country. Nearly 40 percent of emerging-market stock funds have Greek investments. 
 
 — HOW ABOUT OUTSIDE FOREIGN STOCK FUNDS? 
 
 Even funds that don't sound like they dabble in foreign markets can have Greek holdings. Consider those specializing in master limited partnerships, which are popular with income investors and usually invest in U.S. pipeline operators. Five of the category's 29 funds have some Greek stocks, mostly shipping companies. 
 
 Nearly 200 funds that Morningstar classifies as U.S. stock funds have some Greek holdings. But, again, the percentages are small: an average of just 0.4 percent. 
 
 — WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST GREEK STOCKS? 
 
 The largest companies in Athens' main index include bottling company Coca-Cola HBC, Hellenic Telecom and the Greek Organization of Football Prognostics, a sports betting and lottery company. ||||| • US economist denies being part of Plan B 'criminal gang' • Greek factories decimated by capital controls • Shares plunge 22.8pc at opening; banks down 30pc • Short selling ban to be extended despite markets re-opening • Manufacturing output falls to lowest level since May 1999

 US economist denies being part of Varoufakis' "criminal gang" 
 
 James K Galbraith, a pre-eminent American economist and friend of former Greek finance minister has told The Telegraph he was not part of a "criminal" set up intent on bringing the drachma back to the country. 
 
 Mr Galbraith is the only identified member of a five-man team devised by Yanis Varoufakis to make contingency plans for the government if they were forced out of the eurozone. However, the academic has resisted charges of criminal intent labelled at his operations and says he does not expect to face trial in Greece. 
 
 “If questions come my way I'll be happy to answer them” said Mr Galbraith. 
 
 “We will see what happens, but I would be surprised if there is anything more than a fact finding mission [from Greek authorities] at this stage.” 
 
 He also defended his work studying parallel scrip currency issuance for the Greek government and said Mr Varoufakis had worked "tirelessly" to keep Greece in the euro during his six months in office.

 Economic collapse means Grexit threat is not over 
 
 The scale of Greece's economic woes, as revealed by new industrial output data today, puts severe pressure bail-out negotiations, says Jonathan Loyes of Capital Economics today. Mr Loynes said GDP is likely to fall by at least -4pc this year, putting ambitious surplus targets out of the reach of Athens and undermining the basis for a new bail-out agreement. 
 
 "The requirement in the current bailout plan for Greece to build up sizeable primary budget surpluses over the next few years looks extremely demanding, if not utterly fantastical. And that, in turn, casts serious doubts over whether the plan, if it is even implemented, will last for very long. In short, the acute weakness of the Greek economy continues to point to the country’s exit from the eurozone in the not too distant future." 
 
 And just in case you missed it earlier, here's what happened to Greece's manufacturing output in July:

 Pension cuts to apply to retirees after June 
 
 Amid that mass equities sell-off, negotiations between lenders and the Greek government have continued in Athens today. 
 
 The two sides have agreed that pension reforms will affect only those who retired after the end of June, according to labour ministry officials. 
 
 Lenders want measurs including an increase in the retirement age to 67 from the nominal 62 that falls significantly depending on the number of years worked and family status. 
 
 Representatives from Greece's creditors -- the ECB, the EU, IMF, and the European Stability Mechanism -- met labour minister George Katrougalos at his office on Monday. 
 
 "It has been accepted and is not being questioned that all pension rights established by June 30 will not be hurt," a labour ministry official told reporters today.

 Bloodbath on the Athens Stock Exchange 
 
 Greek markets suffered their worst trading in history on Monday, falling by a record 23pc within minutes of trading as investors rushed to sell-off stocks during the first full day of trading in over a month. 
 
 Shares in the country's five biggest banks saw the largest declines, dropping by a daily maximum limit of 30pc, as markets resumed trading for the first time since June 28. Athens benchmark stock exchange made up some losses to close down 16.23pc at 668, its lowest level since September 2012. 
 
 The falls mark the worst daily performance for the index since modern records began in 1985, surpassing the 15pc market tank during the Wall Street crash of 1987.

 The bloodbath of the morning has receded, with Greek markets closing down for the day at 668, down 16.23pc on the day. That's its lowest level since September 2012. The banking index was the biggest faller, down 29.9pc.

 Decision to resume Greek bank stocks draws criticism 
 
 Greece's banking system will need recapitalising to the tune of between €10bn-25bn according to government estimates reported in the Greek media. Lenders are due to undergo stress tests from the ECB later this month to gauge the precise extent of their capital needs. In the mean time, their market capitalisation is set to suffer brutally as investors dump shares for the first time in over a month. 
 
 One of the big five banks in the country - Piraeus - said today that while it had suffered a 28pc decline in deposits from December up until the end of June, "deposits have not recorded any additional outflows" under the six weeks of capital controls.

 Puerto Rico: not as bad as Greece 
 
 Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman has been opining on Greece today. The government of the territory is set to default on its debt later today, when it owes a $58m to bondholders. The Commonwealth has said it can't pay back its obligations and needs a massive write-down on $72bn of outstanding liabilities. 
 
 But for all its woes Mr Krugman still thinks Puerto Rico is in better financial shape than Greece as its fortunes are heavily tied to the US. This brings about positive and negatives for the economy, says the economist but crucially means it is the recipient of fiscal transers from Washington. 
 
 His argument is in full here: 
 
 Puerto Rico, then, is in the wrong place at the wrong time. But here’s the thing: while the island’s economy has declined sharply, its population, while hurting, hasn’t suffered anything like the catastrophes we see in Europe. Look, for example, at consumption per capita, which has fallen 30 percent in Greece but has actually continued to rise in Puerto Rico. Why have the human consequences of economic troubles been muted? 
 
 The main answer is that Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. fiscal union. When its economy faltered, its payments to Washington fell, but its receipts from Washington — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more — actually rose. So Puerto Rico automatically received aid on a scale beyond anything conceivable in Europe.

 National Bank of Greece now worth less than subsidiary 
 
 Bloomberg note that that today's 30pc stock fall in the National Bank of Greece mean its market capitalisation is smaller than one of its subsidiaries in Turkey. 
 
 Finansbank AS, which is owned by NBG, has a market capitalisation of around €3bn. NBG is worth around €2.97bn as of today's trading. There are more accurate ways to measure a bank's health, but as Bloomberg note, the Greek sell-off is put into perspective by the fact Turkey is mired in domestic and geopolitical turmoil, and has been without a formal government for nearly two months.

 A quick recap of events at lunchtime 
 
 Greek bank stocks have collapsed in the first day of stock trading in over a month. Shares in the country's four biggest banks have fallen by 30pc this morning, while the Athens Stock Index fell by 23pc this morning. That was the biggest ever one day fall in history. Shares have recovered a little to around 17.2pc this afternoon.

 France's Sapin: Schaeuble was wrong about Greece 
 
 France's finance minister has hit back at his German colleague today, telling Handelsblatt newspaper that Wolfgang Schaeuble was "wrong" to propose a temporary Grexit and that there was "clear dissent" between the two founder members of the EU over Greece. 
 
 Mr Sapin also said a debt write-off was "unnecessary" but Greece will need a debate about debt restructuring to allow the country "air to breathe". He also described his friend Yanis Varoufakis as a man whose "fantasy is truly unlimited" in reference to a secret parallel payment system devised by the former finance minister. 
 
 On the question of further European integration, a topic on which Franco-German visions clash, Mr Sapin said he wants to "nail down" proposals to strengthen the banking union and eurozone governance within the existing scope of Europe's treaty structure (that's bad news for David Cameron's attempts for treaty change). 
 
 Mr Sapin also had some interesting thoughts on the reluctance of Europe's citizenry to push ahead with "more Europe": "Our peoples are still traumatized by the crisis and tend to take a more negative view of Europe. That’s why it isn’t Europe’s fault, but rather the fault of various countries." 
 
 Here are some snippets from the interview: 
 
 You once even referred to Mr. Schäuble as your “friend.” Are you disappointed? 
 
 I believe that Wolfgang Schäuble is wrong, and that he even contradicted his own, deep European desire. This desire – and it’s also mine – is to strengthen the eurozone. Two things are needed for this: First, to obey the rules, even though it is sometimes difficult and we must take advantage of the flexibility in the rules. Second, part of the credibility of the euro is that it is irreversible. Accession to the eurozone cannot be undone. 
 
 So no Grexit. 
 
 No Grexit and no other exit, either. If you allow countries to pull out temporarily, it means that any other country that’s in trouble will try to fix things by adjusting its currency. But it is precisely the foundation of a monetary union that countries do not overcome their own difficulties by manipulating the exchange rate, but through structural reforms that strengthen competitiveness – and through efforts to achieve a balanced budget. 
 
 Are the French frustrated over the way Mr. Schaeuble acted? 
 
 No, I wouldn’t say that. Some of us thought it was headstrong to make certain proposals during the debate. But perhaps each of us was headstrong in his own way in an effort to advance the debate. For example, we spoke with the Greeks a lot, but not to come up with proposals for them. But our most effective way to contribute was they became aware of their responsibility. Everyone played his part, but the important thing is that we ultimately produced the same play. 
 
 Are the Greek debts sustainable without debt forgiveness, or a “haircut?” Most economists, including your predecessor Christine Lagarde and her International Monetary Fund, don’t believe that they are. 
 
 That isn’t correct. Ms. Lagarde and the IMF believe that the Greek debts can be reduced without nominally eliminating them, that is, without a haircut. Greece needs restructuring. The amount of latitude we have to agree on longer repayment periods and lower interest rates is sufficient. It isn’t necessary to eliminate debts, which is what neither France nor the majority of European countries want. 
 
 When will the discussion turn to Athens’ debts? 
 
 It will start in the coming weeks and is part of the calculation of Greece’s financial needs. There is no point in just throwing out numbers. We need precise and credible calculations. It is extremely shocking that Greece will have to repay large amounts in the coming years. But it is precisely in that time period that the country needs more air to breathe.

 A cash economy 
 
 What happens when you pull all your money of the banking system? Notes in circulation in Greece have now doubled since December as ordinary people now prefer to use cash in hand rather than trust the banks. 
 
 10.20 
 
 Greece's ravaged economy suffered a torrid month in July, as the imposition of capital controls saw manufacturers suffer their worst ever month in the single currency. 
 
 An influential survey of manufacturers (PMI) fell to a 16-year low, far surpassing the depths of the country's previous crisis in 2012. New business orders fell off a cliff, buying levels fell by their largest single amount in the survey's history, and Greek companies cited difficulties locating basic goods. 
 
 The government was forced to close down the banking system and limit cash withdrawals from June 28. Overall, the PMI index fell to 30.2 in July, from 46.9 in June before the controls were introduced. Any reading below 50 indicates contraction. 
 
 Greece is now set to fall into a deep recession this year, with analysts expecting a fall in output of around 7pc of GDP. The severely restricted liquidity has led to reports of some businesses resorting to the issuance of scrip currencies as firms retreat to semi-barter outside the banking system. Despite banks formally re-opening two weeks ago, limits on cash withdrawals remain in place.

 Those diastrous PMI numbers don't seem to have hit Greece's shaky markets any further. Athens stock index is now down by *only* 19.8pc having recovered a little of its early losses.

 Greek factories collapse under capital controls 
 
 A survey of Greek manufacturers has fallen to its lowest level in history as the country has lumbered under capital controls in July. 
 
 The PMI reading for last month has dropped to 30.2 from 46.9 (anything above 50 indicates expansion). 
 
 Phil Smith at Markit said: "Factories faced a record drop in new orders and were often unable to acquire the inputs they needed, particularly from abroad, as bank closures and capital restrictions badly hampered normal business activity. 
 
 “Although manufacturing represents only a small proportion of Greece’s total productive output, the sheer magnitude of the downturn sends a worrying signal for the health of the economy as a whole.”

 A rocky road ahead 
 
 Michael Hewson from CMC suggests that this morning's trading resumption is unlikely to provide much of a palliative to Greece's woes 
 
 While it would be easy to suggest that today’s reopening of the Greek stock market is a key step on the road to some form of normalisation, it is likely to be anything but. 
 
 Aside from the fact that we could well see some big losses, there is the small matter that not only are the internal politics in Greece likely to remain difficult it is also likely to be extremely problematic to reconcile the positions the divergent positions of the IMF and Germany on debt relief, particularly given the proximity of the next debt deadline on the 20th August.

 A big day for Greek banks 
 
 Hello and welcome to today's live coverage of events in Greece. 
 
 This morning will see the resumption of trading in Greek stocks for the first time since the markets were shut under capital controls on June 28. 
 
 Banks are set to bear the brunt of the sell-off with lenders expected to see as much as 20pc wiped off their value this morning, according to analysts. 
 
 The country's four main banks make up around a fifth of the Athens Stock Exchange and although trading of Greek shares has been suspended, National Bank of Greece's US-listed shares have lost around 20pc over the last five weeks. 
 
 Banks are particularly vulnerable as they are set to require a huge recapitalisation effort to regain some financial stability. Reports in the Greek media at the weekend said the government has valued the effort at around €10bn - a sum which will likely come from European rescue funds. 
 
 Lenders are set to undergo stress-testing later this month amid fears over their creaking capital levels. Banks have been reliant on a drip feed of emergency cash from the European Central Bank to keep them afloat since February. 
 
 Capital flight has stemmed since the government imposed cash withdrawal limits in late June, but the banking system has lost an estimated €40bn since November. ||||| Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker: "In one night Europe suffered a major blow" 
 
 Stock markets in Europe and the US have fallen after Greece closed its banks and restricted cash withdrawals. 
 
 The moves by the Greek authorities came after the European Central Bank decided not to extend emergency funding. 
 
 London's FTSE 100 index closed down 1.97% and Germany's Dax index fell more than 3.5%. In the US, the Dow Jones closed 1.95% lower. 
 
 Bank stocks were among the hardest hit, with Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank losing 4.8% and 5.8% respectively. 
 
 Speaking after the London market had closed, chancellor George Osborne said that British banks had "dramatically less" exposure to Greece than in 2012. 
 
 "I think they are well prepared for whatever eventualities unfold," he told the House of Commons. 
 
 Mr Osborne also warned that the Greek crisis was "one of the biggest external economic risks to the British economy". 
 
 "I don't think anyone should underestimate the impact a Greek exit from the euro would have on the European economy and the knock on effects on us," he added. 
 
 The Athens Stock Exchange and Greek banks are closed all week. 
 
 On the money markets, the euro lost ground against other major global currencies. 
 
 Meanwhile, political developments have continued, with the European Commission chief, Jean-Claude Juncker, saying he feels "betrayed" by the "egotism" shown by Greece in the failed debt talks. 
 
 Market moves 
 
 London's FTSE 100 share index fell 133.22 points to 6,620.48 with other European markets seeing even bigger falls. Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei index fell nearly 3%. 
 
 On the currency markets, the euro saw volatile trading in Asia, falling by 2% at one point. However, it later recovered some ground, with the euro down 0.12% against the dollar at $1.1179. 
 
 The euro weakened against the pound, with one euro now worth £0.7090, while the pound buys €1.4108. 
 
 Oil prices headed lower. Brent crude oil futures fell 1.3% to $61.96 a barrel. 
 
 Bond yields (an indication of borrowing costs) for Italy, Spain and Portugal - which are considered some of the weaker eurozone economies - rose. 
 
 In contrast, German bond yields fell. German bonds are seen as safer investments in times of crisis. 
 
 Greece crisis - live coverage 
 
 'Out of control' 
 
 Greece is due to make a €1.6bn payment to the IMF on Tuesday - the same day that its current bailout expires. 
 
 Last week, talks between Greece and the eurozone countries over bailout terms ended without an agreement, and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras then called for a referendum on the issue to be held on 5 July. 
 
 At the weekend, the Greek government confirmed that banks would be closed all week, and imposed capital controls, limiting bank withdrawals to €60 (£42) a day. 
 
 "Greece's decision to shut banks over the weekend is just the most dramatic element of a crisis that has spiralled out of control," said Chris Beauchamp, senior market analyst at IG.

 Analysis: Robert Peston, BBC economics editor 
 
 There is zero chance of the European Central Bank turning Emergency Liquidity Assistance back on - life-saving lending to banks - unless Greeks give an affirmative vote to a bailout proposal from the rest of the eurozone and the IMF, which Juncker sees as a proxy for Greece's monetary future. 
 
 As for Athens, most of the Syriza government detests the bailout offer - for the way it pushes up VAT and cuts pensions. 
 
 So we will have the bizarre spectacle of a Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, arguing both against the bailout and for remaining inside the eurozone - so goodness only knows how he will vote. 
 
 And Greek people will be torn between fear and loathing of bailout proposals that will damage the living standards of many of them, and fear and loathing of abandoning the euro and seeing their banks closed sine die.

 Greece's temporary bank closure is sending investors' money into other European markets, which experts say will continue in the short term, as investors worry about a potential massive default in the country. 
 
 They are also concerned that other European economies could suffer similar debt problems, which would further rattle the financial stability in the region. Market watchers say investors are seeking solace in assets which they consider safe bets in times of crisis. 
 
 "To a certain extent, we do expect markets to react to this, with peripheral bond yields probably higher, the euro a little bit lower throughout the week and some strength in the safe havens like the Swiss franc and the British pound," David Stubbs from JP Morgan Asset Management told the BBC's Today programme. 
 
 But despite worries about the deepening crisis in Greece, market watchers say that European markets are equipped to handle the short-term volatility. 
 
 Mr Stubbs added that because the economic situation in the eurozone had improved since 2011, the region's economy should be able to weather the storm. 
 
 Others agree that the volatility could be short-lived, as investors digest each turn in the long-running saga of the Greek debt crisis. 
 
 "Markets have a habit of reacting with fear first, and reassessing later," said Michael Hewson, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. 
 
 He believes many investors might ride this volatility out.

 At the scene: Joe Miller, business reporter, Athens 
 
 After a tumultuous weekend, many Athenians are returning to work on Monday - despite the closure of the country's banks. 
 
 If not for the doom-laden headlines displayed across newspaper kiosks, and the modest queues outside ATMs, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was just a normal weekday in the Greek capital. 
 
 TV crews and tourists occupy the central squares in the searing heat; the bars and cafes are as busy as ever. 
 
 But there is a sense of unease - Greece's economy may just manage to function until Sunday's planned referendum, but Athenians are all too aware that the country's future still hangs in the balance. 
 
 A rally in support of the "no" campaign - affiliated to the anti-austerity Syriza party - is due to take place this afternoon, and there will undoubtedly be a counter-protest at some point. 
 
 However, most of the Athenians I've spoken to are weary - after the peaks and troughs of the last few months, they've learned to take each day as it comes. 
 
 Potential deal? 
 
 Other experts believe that despite the continuing uncertainty and the missed deadlines, Greece could still reach a deal that would avert a financial disaster. 
 
 "There is still a feeling within financial markets that a deal can be done here to keep Greece very much within the European Union," Paul Kavanagh, chief executive at Petronas Partners, told the BBC Business Live programme. 
 
 He is watching Italian and Spanish bond market action, adding, "Yes, those yields have risen - but they're not in panic territory yet."
– At this rate, Greek banks may soon start to look like a canny investment. The Athens Stock Exchange had its worst drop on record yesterday when it reopened after being closed for more than a month, and things have not improved in early trading at the main Greek stock market today, reports Reuters. The index as a whole is down 4%, but the four main banks are down almost 30%. That is the maximum single-day fall allowed, and comes on top of a 30% fall yesterday. But US investors don't have too much to worry about, reports the AP: There is a good chance your mutual fund includes some Greek holdings, but even funds that specialize in emerging markets typically have only around 0.5% invested in Greece.
