U.S. stocks fell the most in a week after government reports on durable goods and unemployment heightened concern growth is slowing and an analyst predicted Citigroup Inc. will cut its dividend by 40 percent.

Tanona said it will cut its 54-cent dividend to preserve capital as the value of its assets declines.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 21.39, or 1.4 percent, to 1,476.27. The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 192.08, or 1.4 percent, to 13,359.61.
