Bloomberg reported that Fitch Ratings increased its outlook on the U.S.’s AAA credit-ranking to stable from negative, joining Moody’s Investors Service and even S&P in assigning stable outlooks on the world’s largest economy.

Bloomberg noted that S&P’s dropping of the U.S.’s rating to AA+ contributed to an equity rout that erased about $6.1 trillion from global stocks. Tax revenue needed to pay the government’s bills is forecast to grow this year more than three times as fast as spending, Bloomberg said.
