Stocks rose Monday, with the Dow industrials again closing above 10,000 and the three major indexes hitting their highest point in more than a year, as a weak U.S. dollar, higher commodity prices, and earnings optimism sparked a broad market advance. The U.S. dollar tumbled versus the euro and the yen, helping commodity prices. Light sweet crude oil for November delivery rose $1.08 to $79.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after ending the previous session at the highest point in a year. Gold for December delivery rose $6.50 to $1,058.10 an ounce. Apple and Texas Instruments are set to report third-quarter results late Monday, starting a big week for profit reports. Apple's profits and revenue are expected to be better than last year's results. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 96.28, or 1 percent, to 10,092.19, its highest close since October 3 of last year. Twenty-five of the index's 30 components rose, led by IBM, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Wal-Mart Stores, United Technologies, Caterpillar, American Express, and 3M. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 10.23, or 0.9 percent, to 1,097.91, its highest close since October 2 of last year. The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index rose 19.52, or 0.9 percent, to 2,176.32, its highest close since September 26 of last year.
