The strength on Wall Street reflected a positive reaction to the latest batch of earnings news, as a number of big-name companies reported better than expected quarterly results, including General Electric (GE), 3M Co. (MMM) and Coca-Cola (KO).

Crude oil prices fell sharply Tuesday, extending losses to a third straight session amid concerns about the outlook for energy demand, while the dollar's rally also weighed. West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures for December sank $1.75 or 2.1 percent at $83.74 a barrel.
