According to the Industry Top Trends 2018: Metals and Mining report by S&P Global Ratings, "The outlook for upstream producers has generally improved, with a modestly positive rating bias for 2018. We expect the focus on financial prudence - particularly among the largest globally diversified miners - to persist into 2018 amid what our base case assumes to be a (continuing) generally supportive price environment. For global downstream producers, we expect relatively flat conditions on average, albeit with regional variation."
