And, analysts say, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services suggested as much when they downgraded the country’s foreign-currency sovereign debt by a notch to “BB+,” leaving it in junk territory for the first time since 2008. The move followed a downgrade by Moody’s Investors Service by a month. Moody’s downgraded sovereign debt to “Baa3” from “Baa2,” leaving it in investment-grade territory. They also upgraded their outlook to stable from negative. With this in mind, analysts found the timing of S&P’s decision surprising. That the ratings agency moved so quickly was a reflection of the rapid deterioration in Brazil’s political and economic situation over the past few weeks, said Arnaud Masset, a market analyst at Swissquote Bank SA. “Dilma Rousseff’s ruling coalition is falling apart while the Congress is undeniably sidestepping the cutting of expenses, instead using watered down measures devised by [Brazil’s Finance Minister] Joachim Levy,” Masset said. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/brazils-economy-will-likely...
