NEW YORK, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Declines in chipmaker shares weighed on stocks across the globe on Monday, while U.S. energy shares fell as crude dropped and the dollar slipped to an 11-week low against the yen.

"The (stock) market is looking at the rest of the world and seeing it's a little bit soft, while the early read on holiday sales has been pretty good. So on the consumer side that's looking good," said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Emerging market stocks lost 0.84 percent. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS closed 0.81 percent lower, while Japan's Nikkei .N225 lost 0.24 percent.

Energy stocks fell the most on the S&P 500 .SPNY , down 1.0 percent. The slide tracked a 2.09-percent decline in U.S. crude CLcv1 to $57.72 per barrel while Brent LCOcv1 was last at $63.22, down 1 percent on the day. dollar index .DXY fell 0.04 percent, with the euro EUR= down 0.07 percent to $1.1922. Japanese yen strengthened 0.52 percent versus the greenback at 110.97 per dollar, after hitting 110.89, the strongest in 11 weeks.
