"It has been very unusual in recent years for a major bank to issue a profit warning, especially related to deteriorating credit quality, so this announcement will generate plenty of headlines," said Simon Adamson, a banking analyst at CreditSights, in a note.

And "the quality of job creation is poor, replacing manufacturing jobs with service jobs, which is not creating a big enhancement to consumer demand," said Robert Smith, director of portfolio strategy at Smith Affiliated Capital."
