Is the US About to Enter a Debt Crisis?

May 24, 2025 • Graham Summers, MBA

Things are getting hairy in the debt markets.

The credit rating agency Moody's downgraded the U.S. due to concerns about the latter's debt levels: the U.S. has a Debt to GDP ratio of 120% and is running a fiscal deficit equal to 6% of GDP. Moreover, the "Big Beautiful Bill" making its way through Congress is expected to GROW the deficit and increase the U.S.'s overall debt levels substantially in the coming years.

This week, our host Graham Summers, MBA delves into these issues as well as some of the red flags he's seeing in the bond markets. A world-renowned expert on central bank policy, Graham breaks down the potential for a debt crisis to hit the U.S. in the coming months as well as what this would mean for bonds, stocks, crypto and precious metals.

If you're currently invested in any of these assets, you need to hear this!
