Major U.S. and European banks are facing tougher times in the riskiest parts of the loan market.
The biggest U.S. lenders, including Bank of America (BAC.N) and Citigroup (C.N), wrote down $1 billion in the second quarter on leveraged and bridge loans as rising interest rates made it tougher for banks to offload debt to investors and other lenders.
Below is a compilation of write-downs that global banks took during the second quarter:
BANK OF AMERICA
Bank of America said it took mark-to-market losses related to leveraged finance positions in the second quarter.
CITIGROUP
Citigroup Inc (C.N) wrote down $126 million in the second quarter.
WELLS FARGO

CREDIT SUISSE
Credit Suisse said it suffered mark-to-market losses of 235 million Swiss Francs ($247.45 million) in leveraged finance.
JPMORGAN
JPMorgan took a $257 million markdown on its book of bridge loans.
