## Definition

The downgrading of a company, fund or sovereign by a rating agency. Especially when downgrading highly indebted countries, the agencies were severely scolded and even publicly threatened. Justifiably, people compared this to demonizing the fever thermometer instead of the fever. - See downrating, plutoed, underweight.
