NEW YORK — U.S. stock indexes wavered around their record highs Monday, while the dollar ticked higher against rivals.

Trading was calm following the weekend's presidential election in France, which had the potential to upset global markets. The candidate who's in favor of keeping France in the European Union and the euro currency won, to the relief of investors who feared the alternative would have hurt global trade. Markets had been rallying for weeks in anticipation of a victory by Emmanuel Macron, and analysts said that left little upside for when the result actually occurred.

KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped nearly 2 points, or 0.1 percent to 2,397 as of 10 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 30 points, or 0.1 percent, to 20,977. The Nasdaq composite slipped 2 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 6,098.

MARKETS ABROAD: The French CAC 40 fell 0.8 percent, but that follows a 7.4 percent surge in the preceding two weeks when investors bid up shares in expectation of a Macron victory. In Germany, the DAX slipped 0.1 percent. The FTSE 100 index in London rose 0.3 percent.

Asian markets fared better. Japan's Nikkei 225 index jumped 2.3 percent, as did South Korea's Kospi index. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong rose 0.4 percent.

IN THE BAG: Kate Spade surged $1.38, or 8.1 percent, to $18.35 after agreeing to a $2.4 billion buyout by Coach, its rival in the luxury goods market. Coach will pay $18.50 per share for Kate Spade.

Often when companies announce takeovers, the purchaser will see its share price drop on worries that it paid too much or pursued an ill-fitting deal. But Coach rose $2.61, or 6.1 percent, to $45.27.

NEWS FLASH: Tribune Media jumped $2.44, or 6.1 percent, to $42.73 after Sinclair Broadcast Group said it would buy its rival in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $43.50 per share, or a total of $3.9 billion. Sinclair rose even more: $2.95, or 8 percent, to $39.90.

DOLLAR GAIN: The euro had been climbing against the dollar in recent weeks as expectations built for a Macron victory. Following the actual result, it fell like the French stock index. The euro slipped to $1.0943 from $1.0990 late Friday. The dollar edged up to 112.75 Japanese yen from 112.61 yen. The British pound slipped to $1.2938 from $1.2969.
