Asian shares fell and the euro skidded in Asian trade on Monday, after Greece's talks with lenders to avert a default ended with no agreement and Wall Street logged losses ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting.
European Union officials blamed the collapse of the talks on Athens, which it said had failed to offer any new concessions to secure funding it needs to repay 1.6 billion euros ($1.79 billion) to the International Monetary Fund by the end of this month.
"With no deal in sight, expectations for default and exit are likely to rise sharply in the days ahead," said Elsa Lignos, senior currency strategist at RBC.
The euro slipped about 0.4% on the day to $1.1235, and was down 0.4% against the yen at 138.49.
The Japanese currency edged down against the dollar, with the US unit adding about 0.1% on the day to 123.53 yen.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.4%, while Japan's Nikkei stock index slipped about 0.4%.
