14:35 03May2001 CME JUNE NASDAQ 100 INDEX FUTURES FALL 42-POINT DOWNSIDE LIMIT ON GLOBEX
14:50 03May2001 June Nasdaq 100s fall limit down on Globex
CHICAGO, May 3 (Reuters) - June Nasdaq 100 index futures fell limit down during electronic dealings on Globex early on Thursday in a pullback from four consecutive sessions of strength.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange contract declined 42 points, its maximum downside limit during electronic trade, to a 1,932.00 session low.
The contract was ripe for a decline, one analyst said, after its recent upside march. Jobless claims for the week ended April 28 rose to 421,000, the highest level since March 1996. The data added to the pressure on stock index futures, sparking concern over continued weakness in the U.S. economy.
After the open of pit trade at 8:30 CDT (1330 GMT), regular downside limits, including the initial 42-point limit, will be in effect for Nasdaq 100 index futures.
