WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - Financial markets will gain a fresh glimpse into the overall health of the largest U.S. banks on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve releases the results of its latest stress test.
The results will reflect the health of 32 banks, including JPMorgan and Bank of America, but will likely be less dramatic than in prior years. The Fed said in February it would not use this year s results to update each firm s stress capital buffer, an added layer of capital large firms must hold that fluctuates based on how well they perform on the test.
