* FTSE 100 down 0.7%, FTSE 250 off 0.7%
March 5 (Reuters) - London's FTSE 100 fell on Friday, as a persistent rise in bond yields globally led to fears of higher inflation and borrowing costs, while energy stocks rose on higher crude oil prices.

Oil heavyweights BP BP.L and Royal Dutch Shell RDSa.L , however, gained 0.7% and 0.4%, respectively, as oil prices climbed after OPEC and its allies agreed to extend output cuts to April. O/R

Stock Exchange Group LSEG.L fell 4.4%, even after announcing a 7% dividend increase as integration of its $27 billion acquisition of data and analytics company Refinitiv stepped up a gear.
