WHAT HAPPENED
US debt is reported to have reached $40 trillion, with the report warning that persistent inflation could contribute to a prolonged period of weak stock-market performance.
SO WHAT?
High debt and inflation risks could affect US financial conditions and global markets, though the report describes a risk rather than an immediate shock.
