Quick Glance: Investors Must Expect 'Significant Volatility' During Debt Ceiling Standoff
  • The maximum amount the U.S. federal government can borrow to meet its financial obligations is known as the debt ceiling or debt limit.

  • Lawmakers met with President Joe Biden this week to come to an agreement to increase the debt limit and avoid a default, but have not been successful so far.

  • An extended legislative battle over raising the debt ceiling is likely to have major economic repercussions, including a stock market selloff, widening corporate credit spreads (a sign of a weakening economy and higher risk levels for investors), and a weaker U.S. dollar.

  • What should investors do in response to the debt ceiling standoff?
