The price of U.S. oil rose above $77 per barrel for the first time since 2014 as OPEC stuck to a plan for cautious production increases. Rising energy prices helped oil companies gain ground. Tesla rose 0.8% after the electric vehicle maker reported surprisingly good third-quarter deliveries. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.49% from 1.47% Friday.
