Fitch Ratings downgraded Petroleos Mexicanos for a second time in five months, plunging the world’s most indebted oil company into junk status.
Pemex’s rating was cut one notch to BB+, after Fitch cut Mexico late Wednesday, at about the same time Moody’s Investors Service changed the outlook on the country to negative — a move it repeated for Pemex Thursday.
The oil producer’s dollar debt maturing in 2027 fell $2.19 to $0.9901 in New York, pushing the yield up 36 basis points to 6.66%.
