US bank stocks slump on Fitch downgrade warning, 10-year US yield turns south
Fitch Ratings analyst told CNBC on Tuesday that the agency could downgrade several big lenders, including JPMorgan, as reported by Reuters.
The financial-heavy Dow Jones Industrial Average opened in negative territory following this headline and was last seen losing 0.6% on a daily basis. Reflecting the poor performance of bank stocks, the S&P 500 Financials Index was down more than 1% at the time of press.
Meanwhile, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield turned negative on the day below 4.2%, causing the US Dollar Index to erase the gains it posted after the upbeat US Retail Sales data for July.
