NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--U.S. stock futures sank Thursday after jobless claims unexpectedly rose and disappointing Chinese manufacturing data stirred concerns over global growth. Following the reports, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 46 points to 9670, Standard & Poor's 500-share futures dropped 7 points to 1020 and Nasdaq Composite futures slid 12 points to 1726. Prior to the data, Dow futures had been down 17 points, S&P futures slipped 3 and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 5. Changes in stock futures do not always accurately predict market moves after the bell. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 ended the second quarter down 11.9%, its worst quarterly performance since the fourth quarter of 2008. The Labor Department said Thursday that the number of U.S. workers filing initial claims for jobless benefits increased by 13,000 to 472,000 in the week ended June 26. The previous week's level was revised upward as well, from 457, 000 to 459,000. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected claims would fall by 2,000.
