May 19, 2025 – The U.S. stock market is under pressure again today, with most indexes sinking over 1% at the open.

Gold and silver are both up on the weaker dollar and the reaction to Moody's downgrade of America's credit rating from Aaa to Aa1.

All three major ratings agencies have now downgraded America, which could impact Uncle Sam's borrowing costs.

"A Treasury downgrade is unsurprising amid unrelenting unfunded fiscal largesse that's only set to accelerate," said Max Gokhman, deputy chief investment officer at Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions told Bloomberg News.

"Debt servicing costs will continue creeping higher as large investors, both sovereign and institutional, start gradually swapping Treasuries for other safe haven assets. This, unfortunately, can create a dangerous bear steepener spiral for U.S. yields, further downward pressure on the greenback, and reduce the attractiveness of U.S. equities."
