Investors buy the safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc and yen today as global sovereign debt concerns were heightened by a further downgrade of Greece and the continuing political disputes in the US over the country’s debt ceiling.
Moody’s, the rating agency, on Monday downgraded Greek sovereign debt by three notches, saying that following last week’s €159bn bail-out by the European Union and International Monetary Fund, the country’s second major rescue pay-out, the risk of default was now almost a certainty.
“The announced programme implies that the probability of a distressed exchange, and hence a default, on Greek government bonds is virtually 100 per cent,” Moody’s said. But the rating agency was broadly positive about the bail-out, adding that Greece could now stabilise and eventually reduce its overall debt burden.
The situation in the US also dominated investors’ concerns, as meetings between President Obama and senior Republicans to discuss lifting the country’s debt ceiling to avoid default ended in stalemate.
