NEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service said on Friday it doesn't plan immediate ratings changes on U.S. banks after lawmakers agreed to an historic overhaul of financial regulations, but added new rules are likely to have ratings implications.
The proposed regulations include elements that will be both positive and negative for banks' credit profiles, Moody's said. Ratings on the senior debt of systemically important institutions are likely to continue to factor in some government support, Moody's added.
