Markets are also bracing themselves for July 1, when banks have to pay back 442 billion euros worth of one-year loans borrowed from the ECB last year, although they will have the option of switching to shorter-term loans.
Euribor rates are fixed daily by the Banking Federation of the European Union (FBE) shortly after 0900 GMT.
