Stocks retreat as oil and sentiment slides

Second-quarter results came in mixed on Wall Street this  Thursday, but oil was the driver in the stock market, falling over 2% with a low of $44.50 while dollar and yields also dropped with gold rallying, despite the Federal Open Market Committee meeting next week and a subsequent move higher in the Fed funds futures as some investors' rate hike expectations increase. 

U.S. stocks closed lower and broke the Dow's nine-day winning streak.

Goldman Sachs led the Dow down and McDonald's had the most positive impact. 

The S&P 500 fell and closed slightly lower with very little positive in the index apart from health care and utilities 

The Nasdaq fell 16 points.
