  1. LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The European Central Bank allotted just 131.9 billion euros ($161.1 billion) in three-month loans to euro-zone banks at an interest rate of 1% on Wednesday, news reports said. The total was below expectations. The refinancing was closely watched as a gauge of the health of European banks, coming ahead of Thursday's expiration of a 442 billion euro 12-month refinancing operation.
