(This story was updated to also include Singapore as an issuer with Triple-A ratings.)<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s truly an elite \u2014 and virtually all European \u2014 group of sovereign issuers that have pristine Triple-A credit ratings.<\/p>\n

The decision by Fitch Ratings to lower the U.S. credit rating didn\u2019t actually alter that list, since S&P beat its rival agency to the punch in downgrading America\u2019s debt by more than a decade. But the move puts into focus just how rare it is for a country to enjoy the highest rating across all three major agencies.<\/p>\n

\n

Not that any of these countries are about to replace the U.S. as home to the world\u2019s go-to safety security. Though the yield on the 10-year Treasury

\n rose on Wednesday, which means that bonds fell in value, the movement came not after the downgrade but after unexpectedly strong jobs-market data, from ADP.<\/p>\n

Germany has some \u20ac1.1 trillion ($1.2 trillion) in outstanding government debt, about 4% of the size of the U.S. government bond market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
