U.S. stock futures, euro skid after Paris attacks

U.S. stock futures were sharply lower and the euro skidded in early Asian trading on Monday in the wake of Friday’s deadly attacks in Paris, with stocks expected to take their cue from poor investor appetite for risk after the assault and Wall Street’s steep losses. News of the attacks by gunmen and bombers that killed 132 people in the French capital came after U.S. markets closed for the day. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.5 percent in early trade after losing 1.4 percent on Friday and more than 3 percent for the week.
