Fitch ratings on Tuesday gave aluminum manufacturer Alcoa Inc.'s $1 billion in 10-year senior notes an investment-grade rating on Tuesday.
The 6.15 percent senior unsecured notes are due Aug. 15, 2020.
Fitch gave the notes a "BBB-" rating, an investment-grade rating that indicates expectations of default risk are currently low.
