US STOCKS SNAPSHOT-Futures slide after reports of Paris attacks

NEW YORK, Nov 13 (Reuters) - U.S (Other OTC: UBGXF - news) . stock index futures hit session lows in light volume late on Friday, with market participants citing concern over deadly attacks in Paris.

S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 22 points, Dow Jones industrial average e-mini futures fell 238 points and Nasdaq (NasdaqGS: NDAQ - news) 100 e-mini futures lost 96 points.

"I think any kind of global uncertainty is going to negatively impact the markets, particularly because how fragile sentiments are right now, and since we had such a huge run-up in the market in the last weeks."

"I think Paris as well as other global headlines would be having an impact."
