us stock index futures fall after obama win

LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell on
Wednesday after Democrat Barack Obama decisively won the U.S.
presidency.

At 0811 GMT futures for the S&P 500 index , DJ
Industrial Average index and Nasdaq 100 index were
down 1.3-1.6 percent.

Analysts said the decline in the futures reflected the
difficult times the economy still faces.

"The market is maybe reflecting the hard work ahead and
difficult economic circumstances new president Barack Obama has
inherited," said Keith Bowman, equity analyst at Hargreaves
Lansdown.

"Economic data has been difficult of late and the market
after the election is over is now looking back on that," added
Bowman.
