Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. stocks extended declines after a report showed the number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment insurance unexpectedly increased last week.
The benchmark FTSE 100 Index fell 0.7 percent to 5,304.68 ar 1:35 p.m. in London.
A separate report showed orders for U.S. durable goods rose more than forecast in January, boosted by a surge in bookings for commercial aircraft that masked a decline in demand for some business equipment.
