The bulls are ready to go following news that fiscal first-quarter profit at investment banking giant The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) fell 53% but beat Wall Street’s projections. Investors are looking to see if investment banks will be able to weather the financial turmoil, particularly after Bear Stearns’ (NYSE: BSC) spectacular demise. All eyes will be on the U.S. Federal Reserve today as the Fed gets together for its regularly scheduled policy meeting. The market is pricing a full 1% cut in the federal funds rate, dropping it to 2% from the current 3%. A decision will be announced at about 2:10 p.m. ET. In economic news, the U.S. Labor Department reported this morning that producer prices rose an expected 0.3% in February. Meanwhile, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that housing starts fell more than expected in February, a sign that the housing slump continues in full force. Small-cap stocks took a dive again on Monday, with the Russell 2000 sinking 12.43, or 1.87% to 650.48, the second lowest daily close since Nov. 1, 2005. The market did generate a mild bounce off the morning lows, and sits on an immediate test into Tuesday’s opening at 650; below there, the next support is at 644. A breach of the latter could see the market back into freefall mode. Look for resistance Tuesday at 660, then at 667 and 677. The afternoon promises some potential sparks, as the market will react to the FOMC meeting announcement.
