European stocks may open lower on Friday, as markets are roiled by a spike in bond yields, which sent investors fleeing highly valued segments of the market.

are pointing to further losses on Friday after the pop in interest rates pushed the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite to its worst trading session since October.briefly surpassed 1.6% on Thursday, its highest in over a year, fueled by expectations for higher economic growth and inflation on the back of Covid vaccine rollouts, the prospect of significant fiscal stimulus from Washington and pent-up consumer demand. The 10-year rate mellowed on Friday morning, last seen at 1.4719%.
