This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States' long-term sovereign credit letter rating is downgraded by any of the three major credit rating agencies (S&P, Moody's, Fitch) at any point by December 31, 2026 11:59pm ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be official information from Standard & Poor's, Moody's, or Fitch, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Major credit rating agencies have maintained stable outlooks on U.S. sovereign ratings following recent affirmations. S&P Global kept its AA+ rating stable in June 2026, citing economic resilience, solid revenue from growth and tariffs, and fiscal deficits that are elevated but not projected to rise sharply. Fitch similarly affirmed AA+ with a stable outlook in August 2026, noting the dollar’s reserve status and institutional strengths despite rising debt-to-GDP and interest costs. Moody’s Aa1 rating, established after its 2025 downgrade, also carries no immediate negative signals. With the debt ceiling not expected to bind until mid-2027 and no scheduled reviews indicating further cuts, traders assign an 86.5% probability against another downgrade before 2027, reflecting the agencies’ current assessments of fiscal trajectory and policy continuity.
