Stock slumped after data showing high American jobless claims added to concern over a slow economic recovery without further stimulus. The dollar climbed.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. economists halved their forecast for U.S. growth in the fourth quarter after deciding there will not be additional fiscal stimulus until next year. The researchers led by Jan Hatzius now predict the world's largest economy will expand 3% on a quarterly annualized basis, down from the 6% they previously anticipated.
