Eurostocks off, Marconi leads telco equipment dive

LONDON, May 3 (Reuters) - Marconi and Nokia led a telecoms
equipment nosedive on Thursday morning, pushing European stock
markets deeper into the red as investors cast a nervous eye
toward sliding Wall Street futures.
A sombre outlook from mobile phone gear maker Epcos AG
<EPCGn.DE> added to the pessimism, pushing the stock down 3.7
percent. Epcos said it could see flat or declining earnings in
the third quarter as sluggish handset demand persists.
At 0930 GMT, the pan-European FTSE Eurotop 300 <.FTEU3>
index was off 1.3 percent near session lows, while the DJ Euro
Stoxx 50 <.STOXX50E> blue-chip index lost 1.45 percent, with all
but three constituents losing ground.
Nasdaq 100 index futures were off 1.3 percent after trading
higher earlier, while S&P 500 futures dipped 0.7 percent.
Marconi <MONI.L> shed 3.7 percent while Nokia <NOK1V.HE>
lost 3.6 percent, contributing to a 2.8 percent decline in the
DJ Stoxx technology index <.SX8P>.
"Nasdaq closed yesterday 3 percent off the point at which it
started the year, but the news flow hasn't actually improved
that much" said Robert Kerr, European equity strategist with
Bank of America.
"This is perhaps a dose of reality in light of the fact that
there's no 'new' news in the market," he said.
