The dent against the U.S. reputation | 03 Agosto 2023

EURUSD trading plan:

Rating agency Fitch downgraded the U.S. government's top credit rating, a move that drew an angry response from the White House and surprised traders, coming despite the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis two months ago. Traders' immediate response was to embark on a safe-haven push out of stocks and into government bonds and the dollar. Fitch downgraded the United States to AA+ from AAA, citing fiscal deterioration over the next three years and repeated down-the-wire debt ceiling negotiations that threaten the government’s ability to pay its bills. Fitch had first flagged the possibility of a downgrade in May, then maintained that position in June after the debt ceiling crisis was resolved, saying it intended to finalize the review in the third quarter of this year. With the downgrade, it becomes the second major rating agency after Standard & Poor’s to strip the United States of its triple-A rating.

Investment idea: range 1.0870 -1.0970.
