 This is a Bloomberg Money Minute. The biggest U.S. banks passed the Federal Reserve's annual stress test. The Fed says each of the 31 banks stayed above minimum capital requirements during the hypothetical recession. Because of the extra capital cushion that banks have accrued, the Fed says they should be able to continue extending credit to households and businesses during a time of financial stress. This latest test comes as the Fed works on more stringent rules on capital requirements.
