Standard & Poor’s cut Greece’s Credit Ratings to Selective Default

Category : Market Commentary

When the market was still cheering for the rally last week, I wrote an article “Take a look at Greek debt problem from a Folli Follie point of view“. I reckoned that “Greece default” is no longer a myth but a fact.

Yesterday, according to Bloomberg, Greece had its long-term sovereign credit ratings cut to selective default from CC by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, which cited an action by Greece’s government regarding its sovereign debt that began a “distressed debt restructuring.”

Interestingly, US market still rallied last night. The market is like a tug of war now, will the bulls or the bears win? We will see. What am I going to do today? Maybe I will go for fishing.
