This is insane:
In 2025, $9.2 TRILLION of US debt will either mature or need to be refinanced.
The US now holds $36.2 trillion worth of government debt, meaning 25.4% of the total is set to mature.
This is the REAL reason rates are rising. Let us explain.
(a thread)
Auto loan and credit card interest rates just hit a new record high.
Average interest rates:
- Credit Card: 24.5%
- Used Cars: 14.0%
- New Cars: 9.0%
Meanwhile, we have record levels of debt:
- Total Household Debt: $16.5 trillion
- Auto Loans: $1.6 trillion
- Credit Card Debt: $986 billion
The worst part?
Student loans just hit a record $1.6 trillion.
Interest on student loans has been suspended since 2020, but it set to resume this year.
The debt crisis is real.
The stock market has entered its Harvey Dent era. On the one hand, surging tech stocks pushed the Nasdaq to its best week since January last week. On the other, global banks have shed $459 billion in market value this month alone.
