Major US stock indices closed down about 2 per cent on Monday following sharp declines in Europe and Asia, while yields on Treasury bonds fell as investors piled into US debt, as is typical in times of overseas stress. But the gyrations in the markets were not dramatic enough to waylay the Fed, analysts said.
