UK stocks finished with moderate losses on Monday in the aftermath of the Greek public's rejection of creditors' bailout proposals, with Rolls-Royce dropping sharply after a profit warning and miners bearing the brunt of a reduction in risk appetite.The result of Sunday's Greek referendum showed that 61.3% voted 'no' to the latest bailout terms, pushing the country further into uncharted territory which analysts said could lead to an eventual exit from the Eurozone.Nevertheless, downside on UK markets was limited following the surprise resignation of confrontational Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.
