Dow Tumbles 800 Points on Worries About US Debt
- Early Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a multitrillion-dollar spending bill designed to continue approximately $4.5 trillion in tax relief from President Trump's first term, while also introducing additional tax benefits.
- The bill passed narrowly along party lines amid concerns that it could significantly increase the U.S. Budget deficit and federal debt, which has worried investors and credit agencies.
- Following the House vote, Treasury yields rose sharply, with the 10-year note climbing to 4.63% and the 30-year bond reaching 5.15%, levels near those seen at the start of the 2007 financial crisis.
- Senior analyst David Morrison noted that rising costs for long-term borrowing are linked to investors' increasing worries about the growing U.S. Budget deficit and national debt.
- Higher Treasury yields could raise borrowing costs for the government, households, and businesses and may also affect economic growth and market confidence amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
