Asian session: the yen weakened
The yen weakened against most major counterparts after ratings companies affirmed the U.S. credit grades, sapping demand for Japan’s currency as a haven. The yen was bought earlier after a U.S. Congress budget supercommittee failed to reach agreement on reducing the budget deficit. The U.S.’s credit ratings and outlook aren’t affected by the supercommittee’s failure, Standard & Poor’s said. The rating company stripped the U.S. of its top AAA credit rating on Aug. 5, cutting the rating to AA+ after months of political gridlock about deficit cuts.
The euro gain after Moody’s affirmed the Aaa credit rating of the U.S. and maintained its negative outlook. Fitch Ratings reiterated that the talks failure would likely lead to a revision of the U.S. rating outlook to negative.
Today was the deadline for the Congressional Budget Office to receive information for analyzing how a proposal would affect the U.S. budget deficit, in advance of the supercommittee’s Nov. 23 target date for reaching a deal. The failure to agree sets the stage for $1.2 trillion in automatic spending reductions.
