More turmoil in Greece caused fallout across the financial markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell for the fourth day in a row. Oil closed at its lowest level since November. The euro fell to a four-month low. And the price of gold prices the lowest level since December.
As investors fled to safer U.S. government bonds, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note hit its lowest this year.
New elections were called in Greece for June 17 after coalition talks to form a government fell apart.
