European equity futures slump on Greek woes

LONDON (Reuters) - European equity futures slumped on Monday after Greece closed its banks and imposed capital controls as a result of its debt problems, bringing the prospect of being forced out of the euro into plain sight.

The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 futures index <STXEc1> was down 6 percent at 0605 GMT. Germany's DAX futures <FDXc1> were down 4.9 percent, France's CAC futures <FCEc1> fell 5.4 percent while Britain's FTSE 100 futures <FFIc1> were down 2.9 percent.
