Fitch Ratings downgraded the U.S. government's credit rating from AAA to AA+ due to political clashes over borrowing authority, inadequate fiscal framework, and complex budgeting. The move sparked criticism from the Biden administration, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen calling it arbitrary and based on outdated data. This second downgrade by a major agency since 2011 could impact the U.S. role in global financial markets, as Fitch warns of increased vulnerability to economic shocks. While some analysts believe it won't significantly affect markets or the economy, others emphasize the importance of U.S. government debt in the global financial system. Factors including the debt ceiling, potential recession, fiscal disagreements, and election contestation were considered in the decision. The Biden administration pointed out improvements in indicators under President Biden's tenure and criticized the timing of the downgrade.
