YEREVAN, August 23. /ARKA/. Moody's Investors Service put the debt ratings of the six largest U.S. banks on review, reflecting uncertainty regarding U.S. policies for supporting distressed banks.

Moody's placed on review for downgrade the senior debt ratings of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Morgan Stanley (MS) and Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC). The senior debt ratings of Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and Citigroup Inc. (C) were placed on review, with direction uncertain, as the ratings agency takes into account improvements in the standalone credit strength of their main subsidiaries.

Moody's said in March it would re-assess its assumptions for the support banks can expect to receive from the U.S. government.
