Market analysis and futures trades.

Overnight:
Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- BNP Paribas SA, France's biggest bank, halted withdrawals from three investment funds because it can't ``fairly'' value their holdings, as concern over U.S. subprime mortgage losses roils credit markets.

Futures take a hit. This explains the selling earlier today as this must have leaked out. ES resistance will be 1494.50 after we drop. YM support is at 13575/95. Awaiting jobless claims at 8:30.

Update:

Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The European Central Bank said it will provide unlimited funds today at 4 percent after demand for cash in the European money markets drove interest rates higher.
In a statement today, the ECB said it was providing emergency funds ``to assure orderly conditions in the euro money market'' and that it ``intends to allot 100 percent of the bids it receives.''
