US House Speaker McCarthy: The senate and the president need to get to work — and soon
|US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy crossed wires, via Reuters, early Tuesday as he said, “House Republicans did their job and passed a responsible bill that raises the debt ceiling, avoids default, and tackles reckless spending.”
It’s worth observing that chatters of US President Joe Biden’s call to four top US diplomats and arranging a meeting on May 09 took place recently, which in turn renews talks of the US debt ceiling negotiations.
On the same line, “US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a letter to Congress that the agency may be unable to meet all of its debt obligations as soon as June 1 if the debt ceiling is not raised, putting new urgency on talks in Congress,” said Reuters.
Key statements

Market reaction
The news fails to impress market players ahead of the top-tier data/events. However, the recent solution to the First Republic Bank problem allowed traders to remain cautiously optimistic.
