Stock futures, risk assets hit Monday after European elections

NEW YORK: Stock index futures fell after Greek voters trounced ruling parties in elections on Sunday, a result that put the country's future in the euro zone at risk, and as Socialist candidate Francois Hollande won the French presidency.

S&P 500 futures were down 12.3 points at 1,350.20 at 7:35 p.m. EDT (2335 GMT)(0625 a.m. Malaysian time), suggesting a fall of about 1 percent when the U.S. stock market opens on Monday.
