The S&P 500 and Dow indexes edged higher in volatile trading on Tuesday as investors digested a mixed bag of quarterly earnings reports from US lenders but technology stocks fell on worries over new business restrictions in California.
Largest US lender JP Morgan Chase & Co was up 0.2% after it posted a smaller-than-expected 51% drop in second-quarter profit.
However, Wells Fargo & Co tumbled 5.7% after booking a quarterly loss for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. Citigroup Inc was also down 2.7% as it reported a steep fall in quarterly profit.
