Reuters - Moody's on Monday downgraded the long-term ratings of top American lenders such as JPMorgan Chase, opens new tab, Bank of America, opens new tab and Wells Fargo, opens new tab, after pushing the U.S. out of top triple-A rating club over its burgeoning $36 trillion debt.

It also downgraded the long-term deposit ratings of BofA, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo to Aa2 from Aa1 and cut the long-term counterparty risk ratings of certain rated subsidiaries and branches of BNY, opens new tab and State Street, opens new tab to Aa2 from Aa1.

The sovereign credit rating cut on Friday sent ripples through global markets and came on a day when U.S. President Donald Trump's tax bill failed to clear a key procedural hurdle, as hardline Republicans sought deeper spending cuts.

It won approval from a key congressional committee on Sunday in a rare victory for Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The U.S. ratings downgrade indicated the country has less ability to support the highly rated obligations of these banks, Moody's said in a note.
