According to @StockMKTNewz, the U.S. recorded a $284.4 billion budget deficit in October 2025, the first month of fiscal 2026, exceeding the Bloomberg consensus of $230 billion by $54.4 billion, or about 23.7 percent.

This larger-than-expected shortfall at the start of FY2026 puts focus on Treasury financing needs and rate expectations that traders monitor for impacts on bond yields, the U.S. dollar, and risk sentiment in BTC and ETH.
