European stocks declined for a fourth day as the region’s central bank paused lending to some Greek banks and speculation mounted that Spanish banks may have their credit ratings cut at Moody’s Investors Service.  Meanwhile, mainland Chinese and Taiwanese stocks led most Asian markets higher Thursday on relief buying after a string of weak performances, although Hong Kong shares suffered a late retreat amid lingering worries over Greece.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 19.94 points, or 1.51 percent, to 1,304.86 and The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 60.35 points, or 2.10 percent, to 2,813.69.
