    1. Moody's Maintains a Stable Outlook

    Despite the downgrade, Moody's shifted the U.S. credit outlook from negative to stable. This change indicates confidence in the country's economic resilience, institutional strength, and the U.S. dollar's global dominance. Moody's acknowledges that, despite fiscal challenges, the U.S. retains robust macroeconomic and financial stability mechanisms. The Washington Post+3Barron's+3Financial Times+3

    2. Market Resilience

    Following the downgrade, major stock indices, including the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, continued to rally. This market behavior suggests that investors remain confident in the U.S. economy's fundamentals and its capacity to manage debt obligations effectively.

    3. Comparative Credit Standing

    Even with the downgrade, the U.S. credit rating remains high at Aa1, aligning with countries like Austria and Finland. This position reflects continued investor trust and the U.S. government's ability to meet its financial commitments.

    That's certainly why SPY is down 0.9% after hours. They didn't get the correct news.

    I never thought I would be alive to ever see this happen. :(


    Now 12 other countries including Canada & European Union have a better credit rating than the United States. Worst, we're the only country of the top 15 countries with a "downgrade".

    By the way, I am still not comfortable with banks and credit agencies viewing the "European Union" as a "country" when it become very efficient operating as a single entity in terms of financial regulation. :D
