Wall Street ends little changed on Monday

Major equity indexes in the U.S. had a calm session on Monday as the CBOE Volatility Index VIX, the fear gauge, dropped -7.38% to its lowest level since 1993 on Emmanuel Macron's victory in the French presidential election. On the other hand, crude oil prices, which have lately been a major catalyst for the stock markets, wavered on Monday and struggled to find direction amid mixed signals surrounding a possible supply cut deal extension.
