Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil took the opportunity to release its annual energy report, where it says that carbon emissions won't drop until 2030, and warns that increased adoption of electric vehicles won't be enough to offset the impact of surging energy demand caused by a rising population.

The numbers: The Commerce Department said Monday that orders at U.S. factories for long-lasting goods, such as new cars or machinery, jumped 9.9% in July.
Economists had forecast a 4% rise in orders for durable goods — products made to last at least three years.
Orders have risen in five of the last six months. However, they dropped 6.9% in June due to weak aircraft orders.
Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders were up 0.2% in July after a 0.1% gain in the prior month.
Another measure in the report seen as a bellwether for business investment — core capital-goods orders, which exclude volatile sectors like transportation and defense — slipped 0.1% last month after a 0.5% rise in June.
