Brazilian Stocks, Real Close Lower Monday

        RIO DE JANEIRO--Brazilian stocks and currency closed moderately lower Monday alongside international markets, a day after voters in crisis-stricken Greece rejected creditors' conditions for aid.
        Sao Paulo's benchmark Ibovespa stock index fell 0.7% to 52149.37 points. The Brazilian real exited active trading at BRL3.1483 to the dollar, weaker than Friday's close of BRL3.1374.
        Greeks' rejection Sunday of austerity measures was seen raising the chances of their country's exit from the Eurozone. That prospect rattled financial markets worldwide.
        Prices for iron ore, a major Brazilian export, have been particularly battered in the past week or so. That has weighed on shares of local mining giant Vale, which sank 1.7% Monday to BRL14.97.
        State-owned oil company Petrobras shares also fell hard, closing down 2.1% at BRL11.48.
