According to Gasparino, Morgan Stanley is bracing for for a three-notch downgrade, which could come as soon as today.
"Market players are saying Morgan Stanley could get a three-notch downgrade as early as today," Gasparino reported. "That would be a pretty big hit. Inside Morgan Stanley, officials are expecting a two-notch downgrade, but investors are still pricing in a three-notch downgrade."
On JP Morgan, Gasparino said the comapny plans to announce a 'worst-case scenario' loss during their July 13th earnings announcement.
"JPMorgan plans to announce a 'worst-case scenario' loss during their July 13th earnings announcement," he said. "JPMorgan is not going to exit this thing anytime soon. Unless things dramatically change, there could be a 2 billion to 5 billion dollar loss here."
