11:06 =DJ FED WATCH: Cadre Of Key Banks Argue For 100 Basis Point Cut

By Michael S. Derby
A DOW JONES NEWSWIRES COLUMN

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--A notable group of top economists expect the Federal
Reserve's blunderbuss approach to saving financial markets will be a joined by
another bold salvo Tuesday - a 100 basis point cut in the central bank's
overnight target rate.

Several big name investment banks, among them Goldman Sachs (GS) and
Citigroup (C), believe that central bankers will lower what's now a 3%
overnight target rate to 2%. If the economists are right, the rate cut would
represent another radical move for Chairman Ben Bernanke. Since making its rate
moves public, the Fed has never taken such a large step.
