US Debt Ceiling Worries and Global Market Impact
The US debt ceiling has become a growing concern in recent weeks.
Failure to raise the debt limit could result in a default on US obligations, causing significant repercussions for the global financial system.
Negotiations are underway to address this issue, and investors are closely monitoring the situation for potential market turbulence.
The recent bipartisan deal between President Biden and House Minority Leader McCarthy to avert a default has brought temporary relief to Asian markets. However, the situation remains fluid, and caution is advised.
