Credit ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service downgraded its outlook for the U.S. banking system on Tuesday after the rapid declines and collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and Silvergate Bank in recent days.

The prominent ratings agency said it “changed to negative from stable our outlook on the U.S. banking system to reflect the rapid deterioration in the operating environment following deposit runs at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank (SNY) and the failures of SVB and SNY,” Moody’s said in a Monday afternoon report. ”Operating conditions have sharply deteriorated,” it also said in a note, according to multiple news outlets.
