  • "At the core of the problem is that foreign investors are simply no longer willing to finance US twin deficits at current level of prices."

The article from Fortune, published on May 24, 2025, discusses the escalating U.S. debt crisis and its impact on foreign investment in American assets. As the U.S. continues to run large budget deficits, foreign buyers are increasingly hesitant to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds, leading to a potential selloff of dollar-denominated assets. This reluctance stems from concerns over the sustainability of U.S. debt levels and the diminishing confidence in the dollar's value. The article highlights that this trend could exacerbate the debt crisis, increase borrowing costs for the U.S. government, and potentially destabilize the global financial system. It also notes that some investors are turning to alternative safe-haven assets, further pressuring the dollar and U.S. bond markets.
