The energy sector strengthened on gains for Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell. Comcast, the biggest cable operator, rose 4.6% on better-than-expected Q2 earnings. Hewlett-Packard also supported the Dow, rising 2.1%. On the downside, Aetna dipped 19.4% as Q2 net income fell on higher medical costs. Dow Chemical, the largest U.S. chemicals maker, dropped 10% on profit that missed analyst estimates. |
