Small-cap stocks edged higher on the opening, underpinned by a GDP report that wasn’t as bad as feared and by a smattering of decent earnings reports on the small-cap front that lifted the Russell relative to the large-cap indices. But those early gains were trimmed as the market remains concerned about the economy and corporate profits. Some of today’s small-cap gainers were Saia Inc. (Nasdaq:SAIA), CyberSource Corp. (Nasdaq:CYBS) and Digital River (Nasdaq:DRIV).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• In Asian trading, bank and tech stocks paced the declines, although shares in Hong Kong were up modestly hoping for rate cuts out of China.  
• In overseas trading last night, Asian stocks took a hit, breaking a string of four consecutive winning days.  
• The Goldman Sachs Analyst Index, a survey of Goldman’s equity analysts across a range of sectors, fell to an all-time low in January.  
• The Chicago headline figure came in at 33.3, which was below the forecast of 34.9.
