JPMorgan may need over US$20b to meet capital rule
Fed unveils plan to boost surcharges for eight large US banks beyond those already levied by global regulators

The Fed laid out a plan on Tuesday for boosting surcharges for eight large US firms beyond those already levied on the world's biggest banks by global regulators.
