NEW YORK, Nov 12 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Thursday as a stronger dollar weighed on commodity-linked shares and a guarded outlook from Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) led to worries about the strength of consumer spending.

The market declined from 13-month highs hit on Wednesday and threatened to snap a six-day streak of higher closes by the Dow industrials.

The dollar rose against other major currencies .DXY, bolstered by a report showing initial U.S. weekly jobless claims had fallen to their lowest level since January.
