Major U.S. stock-indexes lower on Friday for the fourth straight day after a mixed bag of earnings from big companies and the downward spiral of commodities. Metal prices hit multi-year lows as weaker-than-expected data from China and the euro zone raised concerns about global growth while oil prices neared four-month lows. The three major indexes were poised to end the week in the red after disappointing corporate results and forecasts added to concerns about the U.S. profit outlook. Data on Friday showed new U.S. single-family home sales fell in June to their lowest level in seven months and May's sales were revised sharply lower. Other data showed manufacturing activity nudged up in July after slowing for three straight months.

Almost all of Dow stocks in negative area (27 of 30). Top looser - E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DD, -2.45%). Top gainer - Visa Inc. (V, +4.46).

Almost all of S&P index sectors also in negative area. Top looser - Basic Materials (-1.6%). Top gainer - Services (+0.2%).
