Although an agreement has been reached in principle on increasing the debt limit in the USA, whether the bureaucratic process can be completed in the remaining limited time feeds the risk perception.

Analysts said that if the bill, which must be approved by Congress and the Senate, is not signed on time, volatility in the markets is expected to increase, and this situation may narrow the policy area of ​​the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which has not yet achieved the desired results in the fight against inflation.

Analysts said that if the debt limit is increased, the US Treasury is expected to sell approximately 1 trillion dollars worth of bonds by the end of the third quarter.

Analysts pointed out that the selling pressure may increase in the bond markets in the coming period and said that the increasing dollar demand may also suppress asset prices, especially commodity prices.
