U.S. stocks closed slightly higher on Tuesday, as losses in the energy sector were offset by a surge in healthcare stocks, as investors awaited monetary policy decisions out of the United States and Japan on Wednesday.

After the market closed, Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE) reported its Q3 financial results.
