FX.co ★ S&P Affirms US Credit Rating at 'AAA+'

S&P Global reaffirmed the United States' 'AA+' credit rating with a stable outlook on Monday. The agency noted that revenue generated from the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on various countries is anticipated to counterbalance the fiscal effects of his recent spending legislation. S&P commented, "In our assessment, the fiscal profile remains the primary vulnerability for the US sovereign ratings," further explaining that, at this juncture, significant tariff revenue seems likely to mitigate the deficit-increasing components of the new budget legislation. President Trump enacted this extensive tax reduction and spending package, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, in July. Currently, Moody’s assigns the United States an 'Aa1' credit rating, also with a stable outlook, while DBRS maintains a 'AAA' rating with a stable outlook as well.
