LONDON (Reuters) - Eurozone stocks and peripheral bonds rallied on Wednesday, extending gains after a report that Greece was ready to accept most conditions from its international creditors in order to reach a deal over its debt crisis.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was prepared to accept creditors' demands for a bailout with only a few minor changes, the Financial Times said.

The FTSEurofirst 300 <.FTEU3> extended gains, up 1.5 pct, with the euro zone blue-chip Euro STOXX <.STOXX50E> up 2.1 percent.

The euro trimmed losses against the dollar to trade at $1.11535 <EUR=>, flat on the day, while against the British pound it turned higher to trade 0.4 percent higher on the day <EURGBP=D4>.
