S&P warns it may downgrade US credit rating S&P warns it may downgrade US credit rating because of debt ceiling impasse Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics Writer, On Thursday July 14, 2011, 8:36 pm WASHINGTON (AP) -- The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's is warning that there is a 50 percent chance it will downgrade the U.S. government's credit rating within three months because of the congressional impasse over approving an increase in the debt ceiling. In a statement, the rating agency said it is placing the United States on a credit watch with at least a one-in-two likelihood that it will lower the country's debt rating within the next 90 days. The S&P action marked the second credit warning in the past two days. On Wednesday, Moody's Investors Service said it is reviewing the government's triple-A bond rating because it believes the White House and Congress are running out of time to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion borrowing limit and avoid default. finance.yahoo.com
