Recent affirmations of the U.S. sovereign credit rating at AA+ with stable outlooks by S&P in June 2026 and Fitch in August 2026 reflect expectations of resilient economic growth, steady tariff-supported revenues, and credible monetary policy that should keep deficits elevated but not sharply worsening through 2027. All three major agencies have already applied one-notch downgrades, and their current assessments point to timely congressional action on the debt ceiling, which is projected to bind only in mid-2027. While rising debt-to-GDP ratios above 120 percent and persistent fiscal pressures remain constraints, the stable outlooks signal limited near-term risk of further cuts absent major shocks. This backdrop underpins trader consensus that another downgrade before the end of 2026 is unlikely.
