Fitch: US 'AAA' rating at risk if debt ceiling not raised

The US-based ratings agency, Fitch ratings, posted its latest review report on the US sovereign credit rating, in light of the latest concerns over the debt ceiling.

Key Points:

Fitch reiterated that prioritizing payments may not be compatible with a Triple-A rating

And, a government shutdown would not have a direct impact on the AAA rating but would "highlight how political divisions pose challenges to the budgetary process"
