This marks<\/a> <\/strong>the first time the nation has lost its final top-tier credit rating from the major agencies, following earlier downgrades by S&P in 2011 and Fitch in 2023.<\/p>\n

The agency warned that without meaningful policy changes, federal deficits could soar to 9% of GDP by 2035\u2014up from 6.4% in 2024\u2014as interest payments eat into a larger share of government spending. While Moody\u2019s maintained a \u201cstable\u201d outlook due to the dollar\u2019s global role and the depth of U.S. financial markets, the downgrade signals eroding confidence in Washington\u2019s fiscal trajectory.<\/p>\n
