YPF was upgraded by two notches to B- from CCC by S&P. The upgrade follows the raising of Argentina’s transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment to B- from CCC by the rating agency. The T&C assessment upgrade comes on the back of a perceived decrease in the risk of the sovereign interfering with domestic entities’ ability to access and transfer money abroad. Along with YPF’s upgrade, S&P also upgraded the ratings for seven Argentine infrastructure and corporate entities to B- from CCC, and three others to CCC+ from CCC. However, Argentina’s economic conditions remain fragile and the Argentinian companies’ ability to meet foreign-currency debt payments will continue to depend on their access to foreign currency, according to S&P.
YPF’s bonds traded stable with its 8.5% 2029s at 102.6, yielding 7.76%.
