Having witnessed a slew of credit rating downgrade from Moody’s amid early August, the S&P Global Ratings announced another shock to the US banks late Monday.

Bloomberg News conveyed the rating giant’s downgrading of the several US banks while highlighting the negative impacts of the higher rates and a decline in the deposits. In doing so, the S&P Global Ratings also cited a mix of pressures making life “tough” for lenders.

“S&P lowered grades one notch for KeyCorp, Comerica Inc., Valley National Bancorp, UMB Financial Corp. and Associated Banc-Corp,” said Bloomberg.
