4 Banks Fail Fed’s Stress Test for Economic Crisis 
-----------------------------------------------------



Four large U.S. banks, including Citigroup, have failed a Federal
Reserve stress test meant to gauge their odds of surviving a new
economic crisis. Ally Financial, Suntrust and Metlife also failed the
test, while 15 companies passed. Overall, the Fed says all 19 banks are
in stronger shape than they were after the 2008 financial crash.
