Молния: Агентство S&P: Кредитный рейтинг США будет понижен до уровня "выборочный дефолт", если ...

super_mario, согласен… золото должно повалятся пару недель на дне, что бы у всех от слово купить золото срабатывал рвотный рефлекс-вот тогда оно и пойдет в разворот)))

karapuz, нет, у кого-то проблемы с шортом:)

What would the rating impact be if the debt ceiling were not raised by the time net new financing is needed?

Failure to raise the debt ceiling is not in Standard & Poor's base-case assumptions. If the debt ceiling were not raised by the mid-October date, when the stop-gap measures employed in recent months are estimated to be exhausted, the U.S. would not be able to meet all of its obligations. Should the government fail to service a debt obligation, we would lower the sovereign rating to 'SD' (selective default). This designation indicates that the issuer, in this case the U.S. government, had failed to meet one or more of its outstanding debt obligations.

The rating would remain at 'SD' until the default is cured, which may occur when delinquent principal and interest payments are paid in full. While each case is assessed on its own merits, from a historical perspective sovereign post-default ratings are generally between 'CCC+' and 'B.' However, other defaults by rated sovereigns have been the consequence of escalating political and economic pressures that compromised access to needed financing. None of these sovereign defaults have occurred because of political brinkmanship among branches of government. Standard & Poor's would analyze the changes in the political and economic landscape in determining a post-default rating.
