Major U.S. stock-indexes little changed on Monday amid a lack of major catalysts, including economic data, and uncertainty over President Donald Trump's policies. Markets rallied sharply after Trump's election victory in November, riding on hopes that his plans including simpler regulations, higher infrastructure spending and tax cuts will boost the economy. However, investors have become wary about Trump's focus on isolationist policies, including a travel ban on seven mainly Muslim nations that was blocked by a federal judge on Friday.
