How quickly will Bank of America benefit from falling interest rates?
That’s a key question after the lender signaled in July that a rebound in net interest income was coming in the second half of this year.

JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo on Friday posted earnings that topped estimates, helped by their investment banking operations. Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are also scheduled to report results Tuesday, while Morgan Stanley will disclose earnings Wednesday.
