CBO-The 2023 Long-Term Budget Outlook
June 28, 2023--The U.S. faces a challenging fiscal outlook in the coming years, according to CBO's projections. Measured as a percentage of GDP, large and sustained deficits lead to high and rising federal debt that exceeds any previously recorded level.
Deficits
In CBO's projections, the deficit equals 5.8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, declines to 5.0 percent by 2027, and then grows in every year, reaching 10.0 percent of GDP in 2053. Over the past century, that level has been exceeded only during World War II and the coronavirus pandemic. The increase in the total deficit results from faster growth in spending than in revenues.

Innovator Announces Upside Cap Ranges on 17 Defined Outcome ETFs and Listing of Four New Premium Income Barrier ETFs
June 26, 2023--ETFs seek to offer investors a range of upside potential and income levels across a variety of enhancement rates and outcome periods
Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator), pioneer and provider of the largest lineup of Defined Outcome ETFs, today announced July upside cap and rate ranges on its Buffer, Barrier, and Accelerated ETFs.
"In early 2023, widespread bearish sentiment had many calling for increased cash and bond allocations as a way to defend against a market downturn; yet equity markets had a stronger first half of the year than expected," said Bruce Bond, founder and CEO of Innovator ETFs. "Investors in our Defined Outcome ETFs were able to position defensively with known-levels of built-in buffers against loss while also benefitting from the equity market rally. We believe the case for our July Series of Defined Outcome ETFs and upcoming Premium Income Barrier ETFs is strong given continued uncertainty in both bond and equity markets heading into the second half of the year.
