Greek bonds are downgraded as junk status because
Stock markets in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply in response to further signs that the debt crisis in Greece is intensifying and could spread to other countries. Share prices in New York, London, Frankfurt and Paris fell by more than 2% after a major international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greek debt to a level known informally as junk.
Standard & Poor’s downgraded its assessment of Greek bonds to the so-called junk status because of the growing danger that the bond holders will not be paid back in full. Many big investment funds have rules that forbid them from holding junk bonds, says the move is likely to trigger a further round of selling. Share markets have taken fright, fearing that if Greece does default on its debts, it would hit many European banks which hold Greek bonds and could trigger a wider financial crisis. Already pressure is mounting on Portugal which has also seen its credit rating downgraded today, although it remains above junk status.
选项
A、share prices in New York and London fell by over 2%.
B、the Greek debt crisis could spread to other countries.
C、the bond holders may not be repaid in full.
D、Greek bonds could trigger a financial crisis.
答案
C
解析
原因判断题。根据新闻可知,Standard&Poor’s对于希腊债券的估价下滑到了所谓的垃圾级别,因为债券持有人将得不到全额回报的危险性越来越大了。也就是说。希腊债券下滑至垃圾地位是因为债券持有人可能得不到全额回报,C正确。题干有一个明显的提示词组junk status,听到这个词的时候就要注意听后面的原因。
