Oil prices fell overnight. The Brent crude futures slipped 1.9% to close at $100.32 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude fell about 1.8% to $89.43 per barrel.

Bonds have been volatile over the past six weeks, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management investment chief Lisa Shalett said in a note to clients. She cited a potentially new Fed policy framework, economic growth and high oil prices while the Middle East conflict stretches on as factors.

"Nevertheless, while intraday implied volatility has risen, the six-week stretch has not reached the extremes that catalyzed the 2022 equity bear market," Shalett wrote.

Traders are eyeing the Federal Reserve's minutes from its September meeting due Wednesday, which could shed some light on policymakers' move to raise rates.
