Nasdaq futures fell as much as 2% on Friday after rebounding more than 6% in the past three sessions, after a new spike in U.S. bond yields restarted inflation fears and sent investors scurrying to the perceived safety of the dollar, while hammering global stocks.
A Bloomberg report that Beijing is expanding a crackdown on Tencent Holdings also weighed on the technology sector. S&P 500 futures were also dragged down after ending at record closing highs, and we last trading just above 3,910, down 16 points, or 0.4%, while Dow E-minis were up 12 points.
Friday s selloff was sparked after the yield on the benchmark 10-year notes rose back above 1.60% on Friday to approach the one-year highs touched last week (more below).
