LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - European stocks were seen opening lower on
Monday, extending a recent fall after closing last week near a 4-week low,
tracking losses in Asian and U.S. stocks as concerns over a possible British
exit from the European Union sparked risk aversion across global markets.
Futures on the Euro STOXX 50 STXEc1 , Germany's DAX FDXc1 and France's
CAC FCEc1 were down 1.2-1.5 percent, while futures on the FTSE 100 FFIc1
fell 0.9 percent.
Asian stocks fell the most in over two months and the Japanese yen soared as
riskier assets took a hammering before key central bank meetings this week and
as nervous investors awaited a June 23 referendum that could see Britain exiting
the European Union.
The British pound fell to an eight-week low against the dollar, and has been
under substantial pressure since one poll gave the "Out" campaign a ten-point
lead late on Friday. Two subsequent polls out over the weekend were split over
whether the "In" or "Out campaign is in front.
Concerns over the vote contributed to a slide for European stocks in the
previous session. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 ended down
2.3 percent at 1,308.8 points, having earlier touched its lowest intraday point
since May 16.
There are also several central bank meetings that will be in focus this
week, with the U.S. Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Swiss National Bank and
the Bank of Japan all expected to hold monetary policy steady against a backdrop
of caution heightened by the global impact from a possible Brexit.
