U.S. stocks finished well off session lows on Monday, though plunging tech shares weighed on the Nasdaq Composite Index (NYSEARCA:QQQ). The tech-focused average closed down 0.7% at 7,735.95, its third consecutive drop. The Nasdaq is currently sitting at its lowest level since early August. After a difficult open, the broader S&P 500 Index (NYSEARCA:SPY) closed flat at 2,884.43. Eight of 11 primary sectors recorded gains, led by consumer staples, utilities and financials shares. On the opposite side of the spectrum, information technology declined 1% as a sector. Dow industrials (NYSEARCA:DIA) managed to hold gains, with the Dow 30 index climbing 39.73 points, or 0.2%, to close at 26,486.78. A measure of implied volatility known as the CBOE VIX (NYSEARCA:VXX) rose sharply on Monday, reaching its highest level in over two months. The so-called "fear index" peaked at 18.38 on a scale of 1-100 where 20 represents the historic average. It would later settle at 15.84, having gained 6.9% on the day. Markets have been under pressure by rising interest rates as investors continue to offload U.S. government debt. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury jumped above 3.20% last week, the highest since 2011. The Final Word: Interest-rate jitters continue to weigh on investors following the September FOMC meeting. An improving domestic economy puts the Federal Reserve on track to raise interest rates again in December. A December liftoff would mark the fourth rate hike of the year. *****Advertisement***** [9 Stocks To Hold Forever]( Individual stock selection is more critical than ever.
