Ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service has scaled back its Brent crude oil price assumptions by $US10 per barrel in both 2016 and 2017, to $US33 and $US38 respectively. The firm notes that there is a risk of a further downturn in the crude oil price. Meanwhile, Moody’s has indicated that it expects to complete a review of the credit ratings of Origin Energy and Woodside Petroleum by the end of March, which could potentially result in downgrades.
