Bank analysts to face real and imagined stress on Thursday

The crunch will start at 4:30 p.m. EDT when the U.S. Federal Reserve will release the first of two sets of results from the banks’ annual stress tests. Minutes later, more numbers will rain down when banks disclose how they scored themselves.
