đ„đš $38.5 TRILLION WARNING â U.S. DEBT RISKS ARE ESCALATING đșđžđŁ
This isnât about politics. Itâs about numbers, and the numbers are getting uncomfortable.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has openly flagged the issue: U.S. national debt has climbed to around $38.5 trillion, and the current trajectory is not sustainable.
Hereâs why it matters đ
âą đșđž Debt is rising by roughly $8B per day
âą đž Over $1T a year is now going toward interest payments
âą đ Debt growth is outpacing economic growth, increasing long-term risk
When debt expands faster than GDP, policy choices shrink. Powell has been clear that borrowing at this pace pushes the burden onto future generations.
â ïž What this means for markets:
The Fed can adjust interest rates, but it canât solve fiscal imbalance. With Powellâs term ending in May 2026, the next Fed Chair will face an economy where debt servicing competes with major government spending.
đ Market implications traders are watching:
âą Ongoing pressure on the U.S. dollar
âą Inflation risks that donât fully disappear
âą Support for hard assets like gold and commodities
âą Higher volatility across equities and crypto
This isnât a distant concern. Itâs a live macro risk unfolding now.
