  • Default Rate Surges to Highest Since Depression, Moody’s Says

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...b6c&refer=home

    Thirty-five companies defaulted in March, the highest number in a single month since the Great Depression, according to Moody’s Investors Service.
    The rate at which speculative-grade corporate borrowers worldwide failed to meet their obligations rose to 7 percent from 4.1 percent at the end of last year, Moody’s said in a report today. So far this year, 79 companies rated by Moody’s have defaulted, the New York-based ratings firm said.

    I assume it is not going to get better anytime soon.
