S&P 500 dips as energy shares fall; Netflix tumbles late after results

The S&P 500 ended slightly lower on Monday following a drop in oil prices that weighed on energy shares and offset a jump in financials as Bank of America`s results reinforced expectations of a strong U.S. earnings season.

Netflix shares ended the session up 1.2 percent but dropped more than 14 percent after the bell when it reported results. The company missed Wall Street forecasts for U.S. and international subscribers.

Nasdaq e-mini futures volume jumped after Netflix`s results and sold off sharply to end the session down 1 percent.
