Global rating agency Fitch downgrades the US government's credit rating to AA+ from AAA on Tuesday. The rating giant cites anticipated fiscal deterioration over the next three years and a high and growing general government debt burden as the key catalysts for the stark move.
“There has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters, notwithstanding the June bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025,” said Fitch in the official statement.
Following the announcement, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen crossed wires, via Reuters, while conveying her strong disagreement with the Fitch ratings’ decision to downgrade the US government by calling it, "arbitrary and based on outdated data."
On the same line, Reuters also conveyed comments from an anonymous Senior Official from the Biden Administration who termed the Fitch Ratings’ decision as one that ignores resilience and underlying US economic strength. The official also termed it as “Bizarre and baseless” while citing the possibility of seeing a major increase in borrowing costs due to the rate cut announcement.
The news triggered a quick pullback in the US Dollar Index (DXY) from a three-week high of near 102.30 to 102.00 during late Tuesday, early Wednesday morning in Asia.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
