Fitch Downgrades 270 Mortgage Bonds

Fitch has downgraded 270 bonds from 59 residential mortgage-backed securities transactions to "D." Forty-nine of the transactions are second-lien deals and the rest of the transactions are "scratch and dent" or subprime deals. All of the bonds had previously had CC or C ratings, indicating a default was expected. A D rating indicates a principal writedown has occurred.
