As of 1445 BST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.05% lower at 44,921.92, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both shed 0.05% to 6,444.74 and 21,606.37, respectively.
The Dow opened 24.20 points lower on Monday, giving back most of the modest gains recorded in the previous session.
The Federal Reserve will remain in focus this week, with policymakers set to head to Jackson Hole for the annual economic symposium. Investors will be watching closely for any signals on the future direction of interest rates. Futures markets now appear to be pricing in an almost 85% chance of a rate cut at the central bank's September meeting.
Also drawing an amount of investor attention at the open was news that Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin had ended without an agreement that ends its war with Ukraine, with the US president now entering discussions with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy with a plan that will unlikely be received well.
Zelenskyy has already said the Ukrainian constitution makes the idea of giving up land to Russia "impossible", something Moscow seeks to do, while another part of the deal lies in NATO membership, with Trump claiming that he can end the war almost immediately if Ukraine vows to give up aspirations on joining the group.
On the macro front, the National Association of House Builders' August housing market index will be published at 1500 BST.
No major corporate earnings were slated for release on Monday, but big-box retailers, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart and Target will all release their latest quarterly figures before the end of the week.
