The Dow kicked off the last week of September with a 71-point win -- its fourth straight -- as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to its highest level since June. Strength in the energy and bank sectors, as well as the travel industry, helped the blue-chip index, while economic and Covid-19 fears eased.

Elsewhere, the S&P 500 finished below breakeven to snap a three-day win streak, while the Nasdaq settled with a modest loss, as tech stocks tumbled in the face of higher interest rates. Investors are also eyeing Washington, D.C., where lawmakers need to pass a new U.S. budget to avoid a possible government shutdown. In other news, durable goods orders for August beat Wall Street's expectations.

Oil Settles Just Shy of 3-Year Highs After Analyst Comments

Oil prices surged to settle at a nearly three-year high on Monday, as lower U.S. crude inventories and higher demand continued to boost the commodity. In addition, Goldman Sachs hiked its price target to $90 per barrel, noting the lasting effects of Hurricane Ida. In response, November-dated crude added $1.47, or 2%, to settle at $75.45 a barrel.

Gold prices were also higher, notching their second-straight win as Treasury yield levels cooled from today's highs. Investors are still eyeing the Federal Reserve's plans to taper billions of economic stimulus, while brushing off concerns surrounding China Evergrande Group. As a result, December-dated gold rose 30 cents, or 0.02%, to settle at $1,752 an ounce.
