How the major US stock indexes fared on Monday

A two-day rally that sent stocks soaring last week fizzled out Monday. European leaders vowed Thursday and Friday to keep the continent's monetary union intact, and investors sent stock markets shooting higher. But stocks were little changed Monday as investors waited to see if they would back up their words with action.

The Dow Jones industrial average sank 2.65 points, or 0.02 percent, to close at 13,073.01.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 0.67 of a point, or 0.05 percent, to 1,385.30.

The Nasdaq composite index dropped 12.25 points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,945.84.

For the year:

The Dow is up 855.45, or 7 percent.

The S&P 500 is up 127.70, or 10.2 percent.

The Nasdaq is up 340.69, or 13.1 percent.
