 Thank you. The tally is in for consumer credit. In May, according to the Fed, people added more than $11 billion to what they owe on credit cards, cars, trucks, student loans, and more. That's nearly double the debt added back in April. With an economy that's gradually slowing down in the face of high interest rates, consumers taking on more debt is a bit of a surprise. Credit card balances rising again. This is a pretty sharp increase.
