Energy-related exchange-traded funds were the best performers of Monday's session, as oil prices rose past $85 a barrel for the first time ever.

Crude has already been hovering around its all-time high, and news of tensions between Turkey and Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq has been supporting prices in recent days. Oil was jumping $1.45 to $85.14 a barrel.

The Ultra Oil & Gas ProShares (DIG Quote) added $2.65, or 2.26%, to $119.97. The United States Oil (USO Quote) was gaining $1.93, or 2.98%, to $65.93. The iPath S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index (OIL Quote) was up $1.41, or 2.98%, to $48.77.

The United States Natural Gas (UNG Quote) ETF was also advancing as natural gas prices jumped 35 cents to $7.32 per million British thermal units. Recently, the ETF was up $2.54, or 6.52%, to $41.45.

Not surprisingly, homebuilders were among the worst decliners to start the week. Among individual names, Hovnanian (HOV Quote), Toll Brothers (TOL Quote), Beazer Homes (BZH Quote), Ryland (RYL Quote), D.R. Horton (DHI Quote) and Standard Pacific (SPF Quote) dropped at least 2.5% each.

The SPDR S&P Homebuilders (XHB Quote) was losing 81 cents, or 3.52%, to $22.18. The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction (ITB Quote) slid 87 cents, or 4.01%, to $20.85.

Bundled securities tracking financials were also under pressure following a weak earnings report from Citigroup (C Quote). Despite tempering expectations two weeks ago with an earnings preannouncement, Citi was still a drag on the financial sector after it said third-quarter earnings were down 57% from a year ago. Shares of Citi were down 3.41%.
