Moody's lowers ratings of four US banks after review

Bloomberg
Moody's Investors Service cut its ratings on four of the biggest US banks after deciding the government would be less likely to help them repay creditors in a crisis.

Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of New York Mellon Corp had their senior holding company ratings lowered one level on Thursday after Moody's concluded a review of eight US banks that began in August. Spokesmen for the four companies declined to comment.

US banking regulators have been preparing rules and procedures that seek to allow the government to wind down even the largest financial companies without providing taxpayer assistance. The plans would require investors to accept losses and could require bonds to be converted into equity capital. bloomberg
