$9 Trillion of the National Debt Must be Paid Back in 2026

Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia are the top three suppliers of crude oil to China. Following them, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) complete the top five.
The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS), released by the White House on December 4, 2025, fundamentally shifts the United States' primary focus to the Western Hemisphere. The strategy aims to prevent non-hemispheric adversaries, particularly China, from establishing military footholds or controlling critical infrastructure in Latin America. This marks a strategic pivot from global superpower ambitions toward regional dominance, prioritizing resources on core interests closer to home.

The Federal Reserve initiated the RMP (stealth QE) program in December 2025, shortly after concluding its balance sheet reduction process, known as Quantitative Tightening (QT). This decision was partly driven by recent turbulence in the overnight repurchase (repo) market, aiming to ensure the smooth functioning of the interbank market's underlying infrastructure.
This program is a technical operation designed to maintain sufficient liquidity in the financial system by purchasing short-term Treasury bills, setting it apart from monetary stimulus tools like Quantitative Easing (QE).

Moves in the two markets have become almost independent of each other, after their correlation fell to nearly zero. Singapore’s fiscal discipline is boosting the appeal of its AAA-rated bonds which are graded above Treasuries amid concern over government finances in the US.

SINGAPORE: Mortgage rates in Singapore have fallen to their lowest in three years, and experts say the reprieve for home owners could extend into 2026 – though further declines may be modest.

Lenders here typically follow the cues of the US Federal Reserve, which delivered its third rate cut of the year last Wednesday (Dec 10).
 
A country may align with U.S. interest rate adjustments to stabilize its exchange rate, curb capital outflows, and control domestic inflation. This approach is largely influenced by the U.S. dollar's status as the world's primary reserve currency and the significant size of the U.S. economy. When the U.S. lowers interest rates, other nations often follow suit to minimize potential adverse effects on their own economies.
