Stock index futures point to lower opening
Stock index futures pointed to a lower opening on Wall Street on Thursday, with futures for the S&P 500 down 0.6 percent, Dow Jones futures down 0.57 percent and Nasdaq 100 futures down 0.58 percent at 1000 GMT.
Germany's manufacturing sector shrank for the first time this year in March on the back of falling new orders, raising concern over its resilience to the euro zone crisis, and sending European share prices down more than 1 percent in morning trade.
The euro zone's economy took an unexpected turn for the worse in March, hit by a sharp fall in French and German factory activity that even the most pessimistic economists failed to predict, business surveys showed on Thursday.
The purchasing managers indexes (PMIs), which capture how thousands of companies have fared over the month, effectively quashed any lingering hopes that the euro zone might avoid falling into a new recession.
China's economic momentum also slowed in March as factory activity shrank for a fifth straight month, leaving investors fretting about the risks to global growth and anticipating fresh policy support from Beijing.
The HSBC flash purchasing managers index, the earliest indicator of China's industrial activity, fell back to 48.1 from February's four-month high of 49.6. New orders sank to a four-month low, an expected rebound in export orders failed to emerge and new hiring slumped to a two-year low.
Investors awaited U.S. weekly jobless claims, due at 1230 GMT, the home price index, due at 1400 GMT, as well as leading indicators, also due at 1400 GMT.

(Reuters) - Stock index futures pointed to a lower open for equities on Wall Street on Monday, with futures for the S&P 500, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq 100 falling 0.2 to 0.3 percent.
The U.S. Treasury Department issues its monthly budget for February at 1800 GMT. Economists forecast a $229.0 billion deficit, against a January budget deficit of $27.4 billion.

China's trade balance plunged $31.5 billion into the red in February as imports swamped exports to leave the largest deficit in at least a decade and fuel doubts about the extent to which frail foreign demand or seasonal distortion drove the drop.
China's central bank said on Monday the country has ample room to tweak policy to support credit growth in the face of volatile foreign capital flows that will inevitably see market forces play a greater role in determining the value of the yuan currency.

The Bretton Woods Institutions, the World Trade Organization and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development hold a high-level two-day meeting in New York.
European stocks fell slightly on Monday, halting a sharp three-day rally as last week's strong U.S. jobs data dampens expectation of further stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which holds its next meeting this week.
On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> advanced 14.08 points, or 0.11 percent, to 12,922.02 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> rose 4.96 points, or 0.36 percent, to 1,370.87. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> gained 17.92 points, or 0.60 percent, to close at 2,988.34.
