March E-mini S&Ps (ESH15 +0.64%) this morning are up +0.18% and European stocks are up +0.60% on speculation Greece and its international creditors will work toward an agreement on Greece's debt financing. Greek Prime Minister Tsipras is set to hold talks on Wednesday at an emergency meeting with Eurozone finance ministers in Brussels.
