Record-Breaking US National Debt Causes Financial Sector Concern

In January 2024, the national debt of the United States reached an unprecedented $34 trillion. This has raised eyebrows in the financial sector, as the debt amount equates to around $100,000 per US resident. Despite attempts by Capitol Hill leaders and the Federal Reserve to manage this issue, the debt continues to grow uncontrollably.

Financial Analysts Criticize the Rising National Debt

Many financial experts expressed their concern over the escalating US national debt. They are cautioning investors about potential future dangers due to this unsettling financial trend.

Advice from Renowned Financial Author Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the famous 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' series, adds his voice to the concern over the inexorable rise in the US national debt. Kiyosaki advises investors to consider commodities such as gold and silver, due to their traditional role as a hedge against inflation and reputation as a safe haven during uncertain economic times. In addition to these commodities, Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64% is another investment he recommended, while also expressing concerns about the current US market conditions.

Economist Peter Schiff's Critique of Debt Management

Peter Schiff, a recognized economist, criticized the government's handling of the debt situation, expressing his disbelief that the national debt had already exceeded $34 trillion just two days into the year. Schiff speculated that 2024 might even see the largest single-year increase in US national debt history. He also raised the question of whether the nation might face a sovereign debt or dollar crisis before the end of the year.

Pressure on the Dollar

The mounting national debt is exerting considerable strain on the dollar's prospects. Morgan Stanley, previously the only investment bank bullish on the US dollar, recently downgraded its outlook to 'Neutral'. No other major global bank is currently maintaining a bullish stance on the US dollar, with many reducing their ratings for the USD. This development could be an indicator that US markets may be heading for a slump in 2024.
