This probably explains weakness last week ...

TM March rates were 0.9% and 1.7% for energy and E&P, respectively, as March bankruptcy filings for Quicksilver Resources and Dune Energy contributed to higher default rates. American Eagle Energy and RAAM Global Energy Co. recently missed interest payments and potential defaults for Connacher Oil and Gas, Samson Investment Co., and Sabine Oil and Gas LLC loom as restructuring talks are underway.

More information will be available in Fitch's "U.S. High Yield Default Insight", "U.S. Leveraged Loan Default Insight" and "Energy and Commodity Bankruptcy Enterprise Valuation and Creditor Recovery Case Study" reports to be published later this month.
