US stocks have closed barely lower, with buyers finding little fresh inspiration after last week’s five-year highs to offset a fall in energy shares.

At the closing bell on Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 21.73 points (0.16%) at 13,971.24.

The S&P 500 fell 0.92 (0.06%) to 1,517.01, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite lost 1.87 (0.06%) at 3,192.00.
