Bi kịch hạ bậc tín nhiệm

S&P’s Ratings Horror Show

A good summary/introduction on Guardian:

There's a good piece on the Wall Street Journal tonight, explaining the four things to watch out when/if S&P's announcement is released.

• Who is and isn't downgraded will be crucial.
• The outlooks attached to the ratings will set the tone for trading.
• While much of the focus has been on France, the country most at risk from a downgrade is Italy
• While the S&P action will remove some uncertainty, it is only the first agency to move.
