US stocks

US stocks slipped in quiet trading Monday, led by declines in energy shares.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 23.15 points, or 0.1%, to 18529.42. The S&P 500 declined 1.23 points, or less than 0.1%, to 2182.64. The Nasdaq Composite edged up 6.22, or 0.1%, to 5244.60. 

    Energy shares’ moves have been more pronounced, tracking recent swings in oil prices. US crude oil snapped a seven-session winning streak to close down 3% at $47.05 a barrel, its biggest drop since August 1.

    Elsewhere, the Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.1%. The yen’s relative weakness helped Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average eke out a 0.3% gain.
