Global Hunter Securities downgraded ONEOK Partners (NYSE: OKS) from Buy to Accumulate with a price target of $57.00 (from $62.00).

Analyst, Bernard Colson, said, "We believe a weakening US economy, high propane inventories (and prices) and continued weakness in natural gas prices all indicate a higher risk that NGL prices stay lower for longer. This results in caution toward the gathering & processing subsegment. We recommend positioning defensively going into the Q2:12 reporting season, favoring fee-based, diversified MLPs with low exposure to unhedged NGLs."
