Major U.S. stock-indexes lower on Friday, with the major indexes poised to close in the red for the week, after solid job growth in July pointed to an improving economy, opening the door wider for an interest rate hike in September. Wall Street took a dim view of the report as a stop to easy money will increase borrowing costs. The market has touched record highs, benefiting from near-zero interest rates for almost a decade. Nonfarm payrolls increased 215,000 last month, fewer than the 223,000 forecast by economists, but the unemployment rate held at a seven-year low of 5.3 percent.

Almost all of Dow stocks in negative area (29 of 30). Top looser - E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DD, -1.63%). Top gainer - Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, +1.01).

Almost all S&P index sectors also in negative area. Top gainer - Healthcare (-1.1%). Top looser - Utilities (+0,7%).
