Stocks gained Monday, with the three leading indexes finishing at new 14-month highs, after Citigroup said it will repay its government bailout funds and Dubai received $10 billion to cover its debt, easing worries that the emirate might default on billions it owes.

The weak dollar also helped, lifting commodity shares and the stocks of companies that do a lot of business overseas.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rose 30 points, or 0.3%, according to early tallies, closing at the highest point since Oct. 1, 2008.

The S&P 500 index (SPX) gained 8 points, or 0.7%, closing at the highest point since Oct. 2, 2008. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) rose 22 points, or 1%, closing at the highest point since Sept. 19, 2008.

After propelling the market off of 12-year lows hit in March, the S&P 500 has risen 64% as of Friday's close.

"The market has shown some extraordinary strength here, but I think we're moving into a period of greater volatility," said Don DeWaay, CEO at DeWaay Capital Management.

"This market is running a lot more on emotion now, rather than fundamentals," he said.

The Dow closed at a 14-month high Friday after better-than-expected reports on retail sales and consumer sentiment, but broader gains were limited by tech weakness and a strong dollar.
