On Wednesday, Moody’s downgraded three US banks: Bank of America (BAC-N), Citigroup (C-N), and Wells Fargo (WFC-N). The credit ratings agency had signaled the move in June, but it backed up its actions yesterday with the belief that the government is less likely to bail out the large lenders. The stock market responded yesterday with declines of 7.5%, 5.2%, and 3.9% in BAC, C, and WFC, respectively.
