Consumer companies rose amid strong earnings.

Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble's shares rose after it posted fiscal second-quarter revenue growth, as higher prices helped offset a decline in volumes.

Lululemon Athletica shares rose slightly after Chip Wilson, the founder of the yogawear firm blamed the board for approving a line of sheer clothing.

Associated British Foods reported a decline in constant-currency revenue after its fast-fashion chain Primark posted a weak performance in Europe.
