Fitch international, a rating service agency, announced on Friday that it would reduce Spain's rating from 3a to aa+, predicting that the fiscal tightening measures taken by the Spanish government to deal with the debt crisis would greatly hinder Spain's medium-term economic recovery.

The latter reduced the attractiveness of oil futures as an investment, thereby suppressing oil prices. On April 28, S & P also lowered Spain's rating to 2A
