U.S. Treasury faces rising deficit due to increasing borrowing costs
The U.S. federal deficit has reached nearly $1.4 trillion in the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, driven by higher interest rates and an expanding national debt. As older low-interest bonds are replaced with new ones carrying higher coupons, the government's monthly borrowing costs have risen to about $155 billion.
