After two big euro-driven rallies late last week, the major indices struggled to maintain modest gains in markets lacking a catalyst.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the session at 13,073.01, drifting down 2.65 points (0.02 per cent).
The S&P 500 slipped 0.67 point (0.05 per cent) to 1,385.30 and the Nasdaq shed 12.25 (0.41 per cent) to 2,945.84.
