    EUROPEAN markets rallied on Wednesday afternoon after Greece submitted a formal request for temporary funding from the 500 billion euros (S$755 billion) European Stability Mechanism (ESM).

    Despite the request from the eurozone bailout fund, however, Germany and other eurozone finance ministers have demanded a detailed proposal for budget and economic reforms by Thursday night. European leaders will vote on them at an emergency meeting on Sunday.
