Stocks on Wall Street closed little changed on Tuesday, with the Dow and S&P 500 slipping on disappointing earnings and little hope for a U.S.

coronavirus stimulus before Election Day, though the Nasdaq rose ahead of big technology company results.

Shares of drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co fell 6.9per cent after quarterly profits took a hit from increased costs to develop a COVID-19 treatment.
