Major U.S. stock-indexes lower on Thursday as a drop in Apple shares weighed, a day after the tech giant unveiled the new iPhone 7 that failed to impress Wall Street. Oil prices soared more than 3%, limiting some losses on Wall Street. Investor reaction to a drop in weekly jobless claims and the European Central Bank's expected decision to leave rates and stimulus program unchanged was largely muted.

Most of Dow stocks in negative area (21 of 30). Top gainer - The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS, +1.13%). Top loser - Apple Inc. (AAPL, -2.40%).

Most of S&P sectors also in negative area. Top gainer - Basic Materials (+0.8%). Top loser - Consumer goods (-0.9%).
