U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday as a strong batch of durable-goods data appeared to contradict signs of a slowing economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.20% closed 61.10 points, or 0.2%, lower at 31,439.50. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.30% shed 11.39 points, or 0.3%, to 3,900.35. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.72% dropped 101.10 points, or 0.9%, to 11,506.50. Treasury yields climbed on Monday, as did the U.S. crude-oil benchmark, reversing some of the moves that had helped spark last week's bear-market rally in stocks. "Falling yields and lower oil prices have lowered the terminal rate for the Fed. Whether this is bullish or bearish depends on one's interpretation. Last week, the market took the bullish view which may last a few more weeks before the reality of lower earnings arrives and the bear market resumes," said Michael Wilson, chief U.S. equity strategist and chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley, in a note to clients. Meanwhile, small-cap stocks outperformed on Monday, with the Russell 2000 RUT, +0.34% gaining 9.78 points, or 0.6%, to 1775.50.

Russia has defaulted on its foreign debt for the first time in more than a century as the country can't pay creditors due to sanctions over the war in Ukraine, according to media reports.
Russia said it has sent the money to Euroclear for distribution to investors, but the payment seems to be held up there, the BBC reported. Euroclear would not say whether the distribution had been blocked, and said it follows all sanctions, the report said.

Ecuador could suspend oil production completely within 48 hours over "acts of vandalism, taking over wells and closing roads", the Energy Ministry said on Sunday, amid anti-government protests in which at least six people have died.
The former OPEC country, which was pumping around 520,000 barrels per day before the protests, may halt oil operations as "it has not been possible to transport the supplies and diesel necessary to maintain operations," the ministry said in a statement.
Ecuador has been embroiled in mass anti-government protests since June 13, with calls for lower prices for fuel, food and other basics, which have led to its oil production falling by more than half.
