Over the weekend San Francisco Fed President John Williams said there is a "strong case" for a U.S. rate increase in December, assuming economic data continue to be encouraging.

There's no getting away from the strong dollar and slowing demand in China. The Bloomberg Commodity Index, which tracks 22 basic materials, has fallen to its lowest in 16 years.

Copper has dropped below $4,500 for the first time since May 2009. Nickel has sunk to a new 2003 low. A London Metal Exchange Index of six industrial metals has fallen for six weeks. Gold has dropped for five straight weeks, crude oil is on a three-week losing run. The Bloomberg Commodity Index is set for its worst year since the financial crisis, plunging 23 percent.
