On Monday, the U.S. stock market closed with mixed performance.
The U.S. Congress reached a temporary funding agreement to avoid a government shutdown, strengthening market expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve this year and causing a surge in U.S. Treasury yields.

In the wake of rising U.S. Treasury yields, the U.S. stock market had a challenging September. As U.S. Treasury yields skyrocketed, the S&P 500 index fell by 4.9% in September, marking its largest monthly drop of the year.
