USA:n pankkien luottoluokitus laski-- ei kriisiä!

Ei silti tullut maailmanlaajuista pankkikriisiä, pohjia kun ei ole vielä katsottu eli ei olla vielä roskaluokkaluokituksissa. Obaman hallinto vakuutti heti, että ei se suinkaan tarkoita sitä, että USA:n luottoluokitus laski. Euroopassa taas Katainen hokee, että pankkien luottoluokitus vaikuttaa valtioiden luottoluokitukseen: siksi pankkeja on tuettava rajattomasti= valtiotkin saavat rajattomasti lainaa /voivat taata rajattomasti.

Thursday, Moody’s cut the ratings of banking heavyweights such as
Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan
Chase.

Moody’s: Bank Downgrades Don’t Directly Affect US Govt Rating

WASHINGTON (MNI) – Moody’s concluded its review of global financial
firms by downgrading major names, but its lead analyst for the United
States said Friday that the firm’s action does not directly impact the
U.S. sovereign rating.

“The downgrade of the banks does not directly affect our rating of
the U.S. government,” Steven Hess told MNI.

That being said, “for all our sovereign ratings, the contingent
liability from the banking system is something we assess,” he continued.

And on that front, “Actions taken by many governments during the
last global financial crisis to support their banking systems
demonstrated that this contingent liability can end up affecting
government finance,” he said.

Thursday, Moody’s cut the ratings of banking heavyweights such as
Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan
Chase.

Thursday’s downgrades reflect the credit implications of capital
markets operations, Moody’s said Thursday. But not only.

“They also reflect (i) the size and stability of earnings from
non-capital markets activities of each firm, (ii) capitalization, (iii)
liquidity buffers, and (iv) other considerations, including, as
applicable, exposure to the operating environment in Europe, any record
of risk management problems, and risks from exposure to U.S. residential
mortgages, commercial real estate or legacy portfolios,” the report
added.

Given the negative outlooks, Moody’s signaled the bottom might
still be ahead.
