(CH) Chinese rating agency Dagong Global Credit downgrades US credit rating due to QE program (update) - Chinese press
- Cut long term US sovereign rating one notch to A+ from AA, with a negative outlook.
- "The serious defects in the U.S. economy will lead to long-term recession and fundamentally lower the national solvency. The credit crisis is far from over in the United States and the U.S. economy will be in a long-term recession." Weaker dollar will hurt US ability to attract dollar capital reflow. "In essence, the U.S. government's move to devalue the dollar indicates its solvency is on the brink of collapse"
- NOTE: Dagong cut the US sovereign rating from AAA in July 2010.
