Stocks Rebound After Moody’s Credit Downgrade Raises Treasury Yields

Quick Summary:

Traders expect the Fed to keep rates between 4.25% and 4.5%—where they’ve remained since December—with 91.6% odds that rates are unchanged at the Fed’s next meeting on June 18, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.

On Friday, Moody's downgraded the U.S.government’s credit rating from Aaa—its top prime grade—to Aa1 or high grade, which is one notch below.

According to an estimate published by the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the GOP’s big budget bill will add $3.3 trillion more to the U.S.federal debt over the next 10 years.
