PARIS, July 6 (Reuters) - European stock index futures pointed to a lower start on Monday, as equities mirror losses in Asia and energy shares feel the pinch of a drop in oil prices.

At 0613 GMT, futures for the Eurostoxx 50 STXEc1, Germany's DAX FDXc1 and the French CAC 40 FCEc1 were down between 0.9 and 1.2 percent.

European stocks edged lower on Friday, recording their third straight week of losses, led by utilities, oil & gas and basic resources, but volumes were thin in the absence of U.S. market participants due to the extended Fourth of July weekend. (Reporting by Blaise Robinson)
