De globale financiële crisis escaleert. Zopas meldde ratingbureau S&P dat men de kredietwaardigheid van 37 banken wereldwijd naar beneden haalt, waaronder kleppers zoals Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley en Goldman Sachs! Via Zerohedge:

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services today said it reviewed its ratings on 37 of the largest financial institutions in the world by applying its new ratings criteria for banks, which were published on Nov. 9, 2011. See the Ratings List for the ratings on these banks, their core and highly strategic subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries that we took rating actions on as a result of applying our new criteria to their parents. We will review all ratings that we placed on CreditWatch within 90 days. Ratings on CreditWatch are designated as Watch Neg or Watch Pos in the list below.
