Dow industrials sees worst losing streak since 2011
U.S. stocks finished lower Friday, with the Dow industrials hitting its worst losing streak in four years, as in-line jobs data raised the chances of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September.

The S&P 500 Index finished down 5.99 points, or 0.3%, at 2,077.57, and the Nasdaq Composite Index dipped 12.90 points, or 0.3%, to 5,043.54.

Aquinox Pharmaceuticals stock skyrockets 450%
Shares of Canadian drug company Aquinox Pharmaceuticals Inc. skyrocketed more than 450% Friday after the company released positive mid-stage trial results for an inflammation therapy targeted toward patients with bladder pain syndrome, or interstitial cystitis.

Small-cap biotech and drug companies tend to have huge positive and negative share-price swings after reporting trial outcomes. The company also reported quarterly earnings on Friday. Its net loss was reduced to $4.8 million from $5.4 million in the year-earlier period, which the company mostly attributed to lower research and development costs.
