Very coincidental timing. Just as the market has recovered from the April downturn and Trump is making deals all over the world, suddenly Moody's downgrades the US over its debt. Interesting that no such downgrade occurred in the previous 4 years as the debt was climbing even faster due to the "stimulus" packages. This will purposely disrupt the market momentum of the last few weeks.

It should be noted that Moody's economist is Mark Zandi who is a former Obama advisor and major Clinton donor. All just a "coincidence" I am sure.

Moody’s is the last of the big credit agencies to cut. Other cuts were in 2011[Obama] and 2023[Biden].

The FED can cut, raise or stand pat with rates and some people will be angry in each case. Meaningless.

The secret is to listen to the FED and react as needed. What controls is what they do, what we want them to do is irrelevant.

Looks a lot like an entity exists based on economic solidarity that seems to happens in several countries. Almost like they move in concert.

Their excuse fpr the downgrade - the level of U.S. debt - was equally evident while Biden was President, and Moody’s did not lower the rating.
