S&P Affirms U.S. AA+ Credit Rating, Maintains Stable Outlook

The U.S.’s AA+ credit rating was affirmed by Standard & Poor’s, which cited the resilience of the economy and the status of the dollar.

The U.S.’s strengths include a “diversified and resilient” economy, and its role as the issuer of the world’s reserve currency, wrote analysts Lisa Schineller and John Chambers.
