📰 **Latest Update: U.S. Interest Payments Surge — Cost of Debt Hits Record High**

The cost of servicing U.S. government debt has reached a new high: in October, the U.S. made **$104.4 billion** in interest payments on its national debt — a record-breaking monthly amount.

That massive outlay underscores the increasing burden of debt on federal finances, as rising interest rates and a ballooning debt stock combine to push interest costs sharply higher. Experts warn that such elevated interest payments could crowd out other priorities like infrastructure, healthcare, or social programs.

Markets and policymakers alike will be watching closely — as higher interest payments can drive pressure for spending cuts, tax increases, or further debt issuance, all of which ripple through global bond yields, financial markets, and everyday economic conditions.
