Description
Moody’s becomes the final credit rating agency to downgrade U.S. debt, citing the country's uncertain fiscal path. The White House is downplaying concerns. Meanwhile, investors are taking notice, sending the 30-year bond yield to its highest level since 2023. And later, House Speaker Mike Johnson moves closer to fulfilling his promise to pass former President Trump’s "big, beautiful" tax bill — one analysts warn could add $3 to $5 trillion to the national debt over the next ten years.
