NEW YORK, Oct 23 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday after starting the day at record highs, weighed down by the tech and industrial sectors, while U.S. Treasury prices inched higher in thin volume.

General Electric tumbled 6.3 percent after some research analysts lowered their price targets on the stock, citing higher chances of a dividend cut at the industrial conglomerate.

U.S. Treasury prices rose slightly, tracking gains in the European bond market. Investors added to their positions after a sell-off the last few days ahead of this week's debt auctions and a European Central Bank monetary policy meeting.

Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury notes were last up 3/32 in to yield 2.3719 percent, from 2.381 percent late on Friday. The 30-year bond were last up 4/32 to yield 2.8873 percent, from 2.894 percent late on Friday.

Wall Street opened at record highs following Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's emphatic win in weekend polls. The victory also sent the dollar to a three-month high against the yen, as investors bet the win would mean a continuation of "Abenomics," the ultra-loose policies that have kept downward pressure on the yen.

The Japanese yen strengthened 0.16 percent versus the greenback at 113.35 yen per dollar.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 54.67 points, or 0.23 percent, to end at 23,273.96, the S Editing by Daniel Bases and James Dalgleish)
