US regulators have proposed that large banks increase their capital levels by an average of 16% to safeguard against potential future crises. This will primarily impact the largest banks, many of which already have sufficient capital to comply with these new rules. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLF) fell as much as 2.2% following the news. The new rules will also apply to institutions with as little as $100 billion in assets, affecting roughly 30 banks. The eight largest banks, including JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), will see capital requirements rise by 19% on average.
