Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Fitch Ratings has raised concerns about potential rating reductions for numerous U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. A further dip in the industry's rating from AA- to A+ could prompt Fitch to reassess the ratings of over 70 U.S. banks. This news has caused a drop in the stocks of these banks, as well as Blackrock Inc., and ETFs such as Invesco KBW Bank ETF and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund.
