UPDATE: Standard & Poor's Ratings Service placed its ratings on 22 U.S. large complex and regional banks and one thrift, as well as their related entities, on CreditWatch with negative implications.
S&P said, "analysis of industry fundamentals, with a focus on the capitalization of the identified companies in the context of our expected level of losses during the next two years, suggests that the likelihood of negative rating actions has increased. These rating actions identify companies that we believe have at least a one-in-two likelihood of a one-notch or multiple-rating downgrade within 90 days. That said, we believe that most rated institutions will be able to earn their way out of these credit losses during the cycle."
