Panic in the stock market that arose this month is considered a consequence of a decrease in US credit rating. Many analysts believe that in such a market you can make a good money at all by opening a deposit by a reliable broker. But investments in the shares should have a medium -term investment period, or rather about 12 months. Over the past weeks of August, global stock markets have been quite sagging. So, Dow Jones sagged at 16%, the French market lost about 22%, the Greece market – 26%of losses, the stock market of Ukraine has lost about 26%.
According to experts, the reduction of the US credit rating was delayed and could well be reduced before August. After all, the rating is an indicator of the current situation, and the situation in the United States was far from the ideal, both in terms of public debt and by state budget deficit. Therefore, a reduction in the rating could occur a long time ago.
“The rating agencies provided the United States, so to speak-a huge head start,” said Nikolai Ivchenko, head of the Forex Club information and analytical center in Ukraine.
It is also worth adding that Standard rating agency & Poor’s in the next two years can lower the US credit rating to the level of “AA”. The probability of such an event is 30%. This is the opinion of the agency itself.
