Feb 26 (Reuters) - European stock index futures fell more
than 1% on Friday following steep losses on Wall Street in the
previous session as a jump in bond yields and concerns of lofty
equity valuations hammered demand for risky assets.
Euro Stoxx 50 futures STXEc1 were down 1.6% by 0606 GMT,
while FTSE futures FFIc1 and DAX futures FDXc1 lost 1.2% and
1.3%, respectively.
In Asian trading, stocks skidded to one-month lows and the
dollar rose from a three-year trough as the 10-year Treasury
yield US10YT=RR hit a one-year high of 1.614%, sparking fears
the heavy losses could trigger distressed selling in other
assets. MKTS/GLOB FRX/
