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.Recent affirmations of the U.S. sovereign credit rating at AA+ or equivalent with stable outlooks by S&P Global in June 2026 and Fitch Ratings in August 2026, combined with Moody’s stable assessment after its May 2025 downgrade to Aa1, underpin trader expectations against another downgrade before 2027. Agencies have cited economic resilience, revenue support from tariffs, and the dollar’s reserve status as offsets to elevated deficits, rising net interest costs, and debt surpassing $40 trillion. The compressed timeline through year-end further reduces the likelihood of a ratings review leading to action, despite ongoing congressional dynamics around appropriations and the debt ceiling. These factors align with current market pricing reflecting limited near-term downside risk.
