I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Fitch Ratings has downgraded Braskem Idesa's Long-Term Local and Foreign Currency Issuer Default Ratings to 'C' from 'CC'. The downgrade follows Braskem Idesa's missed bond coupon payment and entry into a grace period. Fitch believes it is unlikely that the company will receive shareholder support or sell assets to improve liquidity. The missed payment could lead to a distressed debt exchange or broader restructuring. Further downgrade to 'RD' or 'D' is possible if the coupon remains unpaid or if bankruptcy protection is filed.
