XL Group, Travelers Companies, Fidelity National Financial, and Assured Guaranty Under StockCall's Microscope
LONDON, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Insurance companies have been operating in a challenging macro environment. Record low interest rates are putting pressure on insurers such as XL Group Plc (NYSE: XL), Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE: TRV), Fidelity National Financial Inc. (NYSE: FNF) and Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE: AGO). Meanwhile, rising losses related to catastrophes are also putting pressure on property and casualty insurers. On Monday, insurance stocks came under pressure, tracking losses in the broad market, which fell sharply following some weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data.
