Johnson & Johnson climbed 1.1% on stronger-than-forecast quarterly results. More than half of its revenue came from prescription drug sales, which increased by more than 4%. BlackRock and Bank of America also rose on stronger-than-expected earnings. IBM, Netflix, and CSX are among the companies that reported earnings after the bell.

The S&P 500 is up more than 15% this year in large part because the Fed indicated it may not raise rates at all in 2019. This is after the central bank raised rates four times in 2018.
