Disclosure: "No Positions"]]> ardna New Ratings To GM Preferred Stock By Fitch Ratings http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/753021-stock-twiter/117013-new-ratings-to-gm-preferred-stock-by-fitch-ratings?source=feed 117013 Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of 'B-' to General Motors Company's (GM) new Series B mandatory convertible junior preferred stock that is slated to be issued in conjunction with the initial public offering (IPO) of the company's common stock.

The ratings agency gave GM's new Series B mandatory convertible junior preferred stock a rating of "B-."

Fitch also affirmed the issuer default ratings for GM and General Motors Holdings LLC at "BB-," and the secured revolving credit facility rating of "BB+."

As of Sept. 30, the automaker ‘s global defined benefit pension plans were underfunded by $29 billion, including an underfunded position of about $19 billion for the company's U.S. plans, Fitch said.

GM plans to issue 60 million shares of the Series B preferred stock at public offering price of $50 per share, which will result in total proceeds to the company of $2.9 billion after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses.

The downgrade resolves the Rating Watch Negative status for SRE. Fitch placed SRE and its subsidiaries on Rating Watch Negative Feb. 2, 2010 due to the pending sale of its commodities trading and marketing business.

Management strategy is focused on investment in the core California-based utility businesses and unregulated and regulated natural gas infrastructure. Fitch calculates that approximately 70% of estimated 2010 - 2014 capex will be invested in the utility with the remainder natural gas infrastructure.

Disclosure: "No Positions"]]> FSFG Dudley Supports Fed Easing Policy http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/753021-stock-twiter/117008-dudley-supports-fed-easing-policy?source=feed 117008 The leader of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York hit back Tuesday at those who believe the U.S. central bank is trying to drive the dollar's value lower.

Criticism has rained down on the Fed internationally and domestically since it announced it the program. Among those taking issue are international trading partners of the United States who have said that the weaker dollar hurts growth elsewhere by weakening their exports.

Dudley, a permanent voter on the Fed's policy setting panel, said the U.S. central bank's sole aim is to stimulate growth in the United States, not to devalue the currency at the expense of other economies around the world.

The dollar dipped against the euro and the yen on Tuesday after New York Fed President William Dudley said the need for the Fed to exit from current policies could be "years away".

The euro rose about 20 pips or so to the day's high of $1.3646 on trading platform EBS after Dudley's remarks. The euro last stood at $1.3642 EUR=, up 0.4 percent on the day.

The dollar dipped about 15 pips and last stood at 82.94 yen JPY=, down 0.2 percent on the day.
