Fed warns banks against rising high-risk, high yield loans: Bloomberg MADRID (MarketWatch) -- Federal Reserve officials have warned banks that they may be required to hold more capital against a rising level of high-risk, high-yield loans on their balance sheets, Bloomberg reported late Tuesday, citing a person close to the conversations. This year along, banks have arranged around the sale of around $411 billion of leveraged loans to investors so far this year, versus a record $696 billion for 2013. Regulators boosted scrutiny of banks after 2013 guidance issued by the Fed failed to curb volume or improve credit standards.
