The pressure was exerted by news from Europe. International rating agency Standard & Poor's revised its ratings outlook for Italy from "stable" to "negative" against the background of weak growth prospects of the country's economic performance and doubts about the successful reduction of debt in 2011-2014. At the same time the agency affirmed the long-term credit rating at A +, short-term credit rating at A-1 +. In addition, on the eve of Fitch Ratings downgraded the long-term issuer default rating (IDR) of Greece with BB + to B +, confirming the short-term IDR at B. The ratings are placed on the list Rating Watch as "negative". As indicated by Fitch, downgrade reflects the scale of the problems that will meet Greece in the implementation of sweeping financial and structural reforms needed to ensure the solvency of the state and the foundations for sustainable recovery of its economy. Intelligence agencies also do not exclude the delay in providing the next tranche from the IMF and the EU in connection with political and technical obstacles to the implementation of the privatization program.
