Fitch Ratings has reported ThyssenKrupp AG's Long-term IDR (issuer default rating) and senior unsecured rating was at 'BBB-' level; short-term IDR was at F3.

The two indexes reflect the negative look toward ThyssenKrupp.

Although it has planned selling its U.S. assets by the end of 2013 worth at least US$3 billion to reduce debt, a downgrade of the ratings would be likely if the sales of assets cannot move successfully.
