Recent affirmations of the US sovereign rating at AA+ with stable outlooks by S&P in June 2026 and Fitch in August 2026 reflect a resilient economy, solid revenue collection including from tariffs, and fiscal deficits that are elevated but not projected to rise sharply in the near term. Moody’s Aa1 rating, established after its 2025 downgrade, also carries a stable outlook. Analysts cite the dollar’s reserve status, institutional checks, and expectations that Congress will address the debt ceiling—projected to be reached around mid-2027—without triggering default risks. These developments, combined with contained near-term political gridlock, underpin trader consensus that further downgrades by major agencies are unlikely before 2027.
