The credit rating agency Moody's Investors Service lowered its outlook on the US government's debt on Friday to "negative" from "stable", citing the cost of rising interest rates and political polarization in Congress.
Moody's retained its top triple-A credit rating on U.S. government debt, though it is the last of the three major credit rating agencies to do so.
Fitch Ratings lowered its rating to AA+ from AAA in August, and Standard and Poor's downgraded the US in 2011. A reduced outlook, however, raises the risk that Moody's could eventually strip its triple-A rating from the US as well.
