Strong profits for Barclays and HSBC Holdings spurred another day of gains for financials, while surging demand for commodities helped Alcoa and Peabody Energy lead the broader market to its highest closes in nine months.

Through dollars weakening and a report showing Chinese manufacturing activity expanding, prices of crude oil and several metals surged. In turn, energy and materials companies lifted the market, with Alcoa up 84 cents, or 7.1%, at 12.60, and Peabody Energy rising 2.46, or 7.4%, to 35.57.
