E&Ps 预计将发行新债券来偿还总计 16 亿美元的现有债务，而债务定价指南——联邦基金利率——已于 9 月 18 日从 5.5% 下调至 5%。
墨菲石油公司和 Aethon Energy 抓住了美联储的意外之财，于 9 月 19 日上午宣布计划以基准利率发行新债，并突然以 9% 的折扣出售。
联邦公开市场委员会 9 月 18 日中午宣布，将联邦基金利率从上限 5.5% 下调至 5%；目前其目标区间的下限为 4.75%。
截至发稿时，Aethon 尚未回应其在美联储宣布消息后发行新债是否属巧合。

The E&Ps expect to issue new notes toward redeeming a combined $1.6 billion of existing debt, while the debt-pricing guide—the Fed funds rate—was cut on Sept. 18 from 5.5% to 5%.
Murphy Oil and Aethon Energy seized a Federal Reserve windfall, announcing plans the morning of Sept. 19 to issue new debt at a base rate suddenly on sale at 9% off.
The Federal Open Market Committee announced mid-day Sept. 18 that it was cutting the Federal funds rate from a top end of 5.5% down to 5%; the low end of its target range is now 4.75%.
Aethon did not reply before press time as to whether its new-debt offering’s timing after the Fed announcement was coincidental.
