The S&P 500 flipped between small gains and losses in early trading, much like it has been the past couple weeks. Overseas stock markets were mixed as the United Kingdom’s pending exit from the European Union appeared set for yet another delay. Medical device company Boston Scientific also jumped to one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after reporting a bigger profit than expected. Eli Lilly also dragged on the market despite reporting stronger profit than Wall Street expected. AdvertisementThe S&P 500 was up 5 points, or 0.2%, at 3,001 as of 8:42 a.m.
