JUST IN: The US Treasury reported a $316 billion budget deficit in May, marking the third-largest in history. Government spending increased by 3% YoY, reaching $687 billion. Despite a 270% surge in tariff revenue to $23 billion, it did little to offset the deficit. The budget gap for the first 8 months of Fiscal Year 2025 is now $1.37 trillion, the third-largest ever. The 12-month federal deficit is at $2.0 trillion, or 6.7% of GDP, up from 6.1% last year, indicating a worsening deficit crisis.

In case you forgot:
President Trump's 90-day tariff pause now only has 13 days remaining.
This means without any new trade deals, on July 9th, tariff rates will rise as follows:
1. Country-specific "reciprocal tariffs" return
2. Tariffs of up to 50% on EU imports
3. 30% tariffs on Chinese imports remain in effect
4. Global 10% baseline tariffs remains in effect
The S&P 500 is now ~1,200 points higher than it was on April 9th, when the 90-day pause was announced.
The trade war will soon take the spotlight again.
U.S. debt could hit 218% of GDP in 30 years
If the new spending bill (OBBBA) becomes permanent and rates stay high, U.S. debt could soar by $55 trillion by 2054 — pushing the debt-to-GDP ratio to 218%, per CRFB.
Even under current terms, the bill may add $15 trillion and raise the ratio to 172%.
Bottom line: the U.S. is on a dangerously unsustainable fiscal path.
