U.S. stock index futures tanked ahead of Thursday's open, as the global market rout continued to thrash stocks.
Around 7 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures sank 205 points, indicating a loss of about 300 points at the open. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures also pointed to sharp drops at the open.
Tech shares were also headed for a steep decline after posting their worst day in seven years in the previous session. Facebook and Apple were both down more than 1 percent in the premarket, while Amazon and Netflix dropped at least 2 percent each. Twitter and Alphabet also traded more than 1 percent lower.
Thursday's moves come a day after the Dow sank more than 800 points. Worries over fast-rising interest rates and a steep tech rout sent U.S. equities tumbling on Wednesday. International markets also fell on Thursday. Asia-Pacific stocks saw sharp declines by the region's market close, while European shares tumbled.
Rising U.S. Treasury yields have been keeping investors on their toes in previous sessions. The benchmark 10-year note yield recently hit its highest level in seven years while the two-year yield reached its highest mark since 2008 on Wednesday.
