U.S. equity-index futures dropped with European stocks amid concern the resolve of central banks to continue their fight against inflation will tip the economy into a recession.

Contracts on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 fell at least 1.1 per cent each after the underlying indexes posted their biggest declines since Nov. 2 on Thursday. Europe's Stoxx 600 slid to a five-week low. The dollar erased a weekly loss and Treasuries dropped across the curve. Oil trimmed a weekly gain. Adobe Inc. rose in premarket New York trading after reporting better-than-estimated earnings.

Europe's equity benchmark fell for a third day, dragged by growth-sensitive sectors such as real estate, technology and financial services. The benchmark of Asian equities posted the first weekly decline since October. The MSCI ACWI Index, the global equities gauge, headed for a 1.4 per cent retreat this week.

Ann-Katrin Petersen, senior investment strategist at BlackRock Investment Institute, said on Bloomberg Television that central banks were starting to acknowledge they will have to crush growth and will likely engineer recessions to tame inflation.
