    [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -7.6. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -14.0. Current indications suggest a lower start for the stock market. A disappointing sales forecast from Yahoo! (YHOO) and a $14 billion subprime related dollar write-down at UBS (UBS) is weighing on sentiment in the early-going. In other earnings news, Boeing (BA) and Merck (MRK) topped expectations. UPS (UPS) and Kraft (KFT) reported earnings that were in-line with estimates. The ADP private employment report will be released at 8:15 ET, and has been receiving traders’ attention of late. The market will turn attention to the advanced fourth quarter GDP reading at 8:30 ET (consensus +1.9%) and then to the FOMC announcement at 14:15 ET.
