Geo Plunge Leads Worst Corporate Slump Since ‘06: Mexico Credit

Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Mexican corporate bonds are posting their longest losing streak in five years as the slowdown in the U.S., the Latin American country’s biggest trade partner, erodes demand for debt sold by companies from Corp. Geo SAB to Financiera Independencia SAB.

The 2.1 percent loss in Mexican corporate dollar debt over the past 30 days is the third straight month of declines, the most since the period ended June 17, 2006, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Brazilian companies’ bonds slumped 1.3 percent in the past month, the second consecutive month of losses. Emerging-market corporate debt also fell for a second month, losing 1.9 percent over the past 30 days.
