The U.S. 🇺🇸 now loses its last AAA rating as Moody’s, for the 1ST time ever, cuts the U.S. sovereign credit rating to Aa1—following Fitch’s d/g in 2023 & S&P’s in 2011.
Moody’s cites rising debt—projected to reach 134% of GDP by 2035—growing interest costs, and persistent deficits.
“Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs,” the agency said.
Federal deficits are expected to widen to nearly 9% of GDP, up from 6.4% in 2024, mostly driven by entitlement spending, low revenue, and surging interest payments. By 2035, interest could eat up 30% of federal revenue.
Moody’s doesn’t expect any meaningful fiscal restraint from the current administration and warns that “budget flexibility will remain limited” without tax or spending reforms.
It also flagged that tariffs may slow growth in the near term but doesn't expect long-term damage. Despite the downgrade, Moody’s moved the outlook to stable, citing strength in the U.S. economy, the Fed’s independence, and the dollar’s global reserve currency status.

MOODY’S DOWNGRADES U.S. CREDIT RATING TO Aa1 FROM Aaa
Moody’s just cut the U.S. 🇺🇸 credit rating, citing rising debt and weaker fiscal outlook. They now expect the federal debt burden to hit around 134% of GDP by 2035, up from 98% in 2024. While they still see strong economic fundamentals, they say that’s no longer enough to fully offset the decline in fiscal health. Long-term growth isn’t expected to take a major hit from tariffs. tweet

TRUMP: Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between $WMT and China they should, as is said, “EAT THE TARIFFS,” and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!
