Long-term rates reflect weak job creation and credit demand, both a result of President Obama’s poor economic stewardship.8 injured in fire at oil refinery in Mexico; state-owned oil company downgraded
– canadianbusiness.com
MEXICO CITY – Mexico’s state-run oil company said a fire Tuesday at one of its refineries has injured eight people.
Petroleos Mexicanos said in a statement that its firefighters had controlled the blaze at the Antonio Dovali Jaime refinery in the southern state of Oaxaca. It said none of the injuries to two Pemex workers and six contractors was serious.
The company said it was investigating the cause, but that the supply of petroleum products was guaranteed.
It was a day of bad news for Pemex, as the company is known.
Moody’s Investors Services downgraded Pemex’ foreign and local currency ratings from A3 to Baa1.
It placed a negative outlook on the company’s ratings, in the face of continued low oil prices, falling production, high taxes and an expected deterioration of its credit situation.
Pemex responded Tuesday, saying in a statement that it had taken steps to reduce costs, including raising the minimum age for full-wage retirement for its workers from 55 to 60 years…

With Black Friday week marking the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season, many Canadians are hoping to get an early start on their spending. But how much money do they plan on dropping? The average is $1,551, according to a new study from BMO Financial Group.
Holiday spending doesn’t include just gifts anymore; according to the study, travel is now the biggest expense with the average person spending $686. Gifts, of course, are still a major part of the holiday season with people spending an average of $563, while entertainment accounts for $228.
Overall, planned spending is up just a touch compared to last year, but Canadians are now using a smart but potentially dangerous tactic to offset their costs.
