  • The firm stripped the U.S. of its top credit rating, lowering it by one step.

Moody's Investors Service downgraded the long-term deposit ratings of several major U.S. banks following a downgrade of the U.S. government's credit rating, citing increased risks to the banks' financial stability due to potential economic downturns and rising interest rates. The affected banks include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, among others, with the ratings agency pointing to concerns over the banks' exposure to commercial real estate and the broader economic environment.

The downgrade reflects broader concerns about the stability of the U.S. financial system amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
