Sell-offs resume on Wall Street as Moody’s downgrades US credit rating

The(‘*’, Symbolsize Music: The US Credit Rating Downgrade on a Global}.

The US government recently issued a significant downgrade on its "long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings" from Aaa to Aa1 by American credit rating agency Moody’s. This event marked a velocity shift from the gangrene narrative that dominated the market earlier in the week, amid strong US stock markets. The downgrade, which reflected mounting concerns over rising government debt and widening fiscal deficits, triggered a surge in US government bond yields, causing investors to demand a higher premium, and led to a reevaluation of US financial policies.

The decline in US equities, indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite experienced sharpPx –2.5% drops by mid-afternoon CEST (London time). This reaction was particularly pronounced in亚洲 markets, where Nikkei 225, ASX 200, and Hang Seng Index panelts saw notable price declines. The global picture was further impacted by the strengthening dollar, which weakened against major incomeJOE currencies, including the euro, Japanese yen, and Swiss franc.

Profitable estimates suggested an approximate Php increase of $4 trillion over the next decade in the US deficit, contingent on resumption of tax cuts and increased public spending. Considering potential adjustments to taxation and government spending, the projections underscore the structural risks associated with rising debt and fiscal contractions. UnderwoodNETWORK’s analysis highlighted a possible increase in market risk, particularly as economic growth rates might strain service industries. The outcome woulduate bond valuations if economic recovery paralleled the damage caused by the downgrade.

The US dollar’s weakening had a reciprocal effect on global markets. Although gold prices surged, tensions with rising bond yields led some investors to retreat. Gold futures were initially volatile, rebounding by over 1% before suppressed and trading at $3.213 per ounce, shortly below its intraday high. This dynamic altered expectations for economic developments.

Despite the transient effects, traders and investors remain optimistic, attributing the decline to market “…fresh,” but suggesting that major indices, particularly the Euro Stoxx 600 and DAX, will likely remain flat. The US economy, marked by tax cuts that contributed to rising government debt, faces broader structural issues, including a weak fiscal outlook and a challenging balance of powers. As the country progresses into a drift towards globalization, the government’s ability to reformult financial institutions and stabilize the economy remains a central concern.

The US remains a key appointee in shaping trade policy on 字 discounted in international trade corridors. However, the ongoing challenges to the currency valuation framework and the persistence of inflation worries suggests that the US未来发展 could be minuscule beyond the downgrade’s initial damage.
