⚠️ Think nothing big is coming? 2026 might surprise everyone…

Right now, almost nobody is paying attention — but 2026 could bring serious financial pressure for the United States economy.

Here’s the reality in simple words:

Around $9.6 trillion of government debt must be refinanced in 2026 alone — that’s over 25% of total U.S. debt in just one year.

Back in 2020–2021, money was borrowed at near-zero interest rates.

Today? Rates sit around 3.5–4%.

The issue isn’t paying the debt back all at once —

👉 it’s refunding that debt at much higher rates.

And higher rates mean: • Bigger interest costs

• More budget pressure

• Larger deficits

By 2026, annual interest payments could cross $1 trillion — a record high.

So what usually happens when governments feel this squeeze?

They rarely slash spending hard.

They almost never default.

Instead, the common move is: 👉 Lower interest rates.

Here’s how the chain reaction might look:

1️⃣ Massive refinancing hits in 2026

2️⃣ High rates make payments too expensive

3️⃣ Growth slows, jobs weaken, inflation cools

4️⃣ The Federal Reserve gets the excuse to cut rates

And once rates fall?

• Liquidity increases

• Borrowing gets cheaper

• Investors take more risk

That’s when assets like crypto, small caps, and high-growth stocks often rally fast.

But remember —

Markets don’t wait for announcements.

They move early.

So don’t be shocked if money starts flowing before the headlines catch up.
