Intanto, il mese scorso il default rate è ancora sceso quasi ovunque, salvo in Europa, dove è leggermente rimbalzato...
Globalmente, siamo scesi dal 10% di marzo (rivisto) al 9% di aprile, e siamo diretti al 2,7% pronosticato per dicembre ed al 2% fra 12 mesi. Negli USA siamo passati dall'11% al 9,5 e siamo diretti al 3% a fine anno. In Europa siamo passati dal 7,3% al 7,8% e siamo diretti all'1,5% di fine anno. Anche questo mese Moody's non indica nel bollettino di stampa il target a 12 mesi del default rate di USA ed EU, il che mi fa supporre che il dato di fine anno possa essere per le due aree il bottom di ciclo.
D'altronde, per entrambe saremmo al di sotto della media storica, che si attesta sopra al 4% annuo.
Moody's: Global Default Rate Fell to 9.0% in April 2010
New York, May 06, 2010 -- The global speculative-grade default rate continued its downward path in April, sliding to 9.0% from March's revised level of 10.0%, said Moody's Investors Service in its latest monthly default report. A year ago, the global default rate stood at 8.8%.
Moody's default rate forecasting model now predicts that the global speculative-grade default rate will finish this year at 2.7% and then fall to 2.0% a year from today.
"The pace of defaults continues to fall, and the credit outlook today is far less negative than it was a year ago. While risks certainly remain, our base case projections indicate very few defaults over the near term," said Moody's Director of Credit Policy Research Albert Metz.
In the U.S., the speculative-grade default rate also decreased from a revised level of 11.0% in March to 9.5% in April. At this time last year, the U.S. default rate stood at 9.8%.
In the U.S., the dollar-weighted speculative-grade bond default rate ended at 9.1% in April, also down from March's level of 11.3%, while the European dollar-weighted speculative-grade bond default rate fell from 5.8% in March to 3.9% in April.
At this time last year, the U.S. and European default rates stood at 14.5% and 7.4%, respectively.
Among U.S. speculative-grade issuers, Moody's forecasting model foresees the default falling to 3.0% by the end of the year. In Europe, the forecasting model projects the speculative-grade default rate will decline to 1.5%.
A total of 5 Moody's-rated corporate debt issuers defaulted in April, which sends the year-to-date default count to 22. In comparison, 115 defaults were recorded in the first four months last year, 25 of which were April defaults.
Overall, 20 of this year's defaults were by North American issuers while the rest were from Europe and Asia.
Across industries over the coming year, default rates are expected to be highest in the Consumer Transportation sector in the U.S. and the Business Service sector in Europe.
Measured on a dollar volume basis, the global speculative-grade bond default rate closed at 8.1% in April, down from 10.3% in March. Last year, the global dollar-weighted default rate stood at 13.6% in April.
Moody's speculative-grade corporate distress index -- which measures the percentage of rated issuers that have debt trading at distressed levels -- came in at 14.1% at the end of April, down from 17.1% in March. A year ago, the index was much higher at 53.5%.
In the leveraged loan market, no Moody's-rated loan defaulters were recorded in April. The trailing 12 month U.S. leveraged loan default rate fell from 10.4% (revised) in March to 8.8% in April. A year ago, the loan default rate was 6.8%.
