My Comment : All of the debt will make the next recession worse than ever
Excerpt: After several months of subdued increases in consumer credit, moments ago the Fed reported that in June, total consumer credit surged by the most on record, soaring by $37.69 billion, nearly double the consensus estimate of $23 billion. The monthly increase was a whopping 10.6% SAAR, pushing the total to a new record high of $4.319 trillion.
What was behind this stunning surge? Well, just as stimmies ran out, US household decided to shift from debit to credit cards, and splurged to a never before seen pace, pushing revolving credit, i.e., credit card debt, higher by a whopping 17.9$ billion, the biggest monthly increase on record, and pushing the total revolving debt back to just shy of $1 trillion or $992.2 billion.
