Consumer credit outstanding increased $14.58 billion (5.1% y/y) after rising $17.81 billion in May, revised from $17.10 billion. It was the smallest increase in three months. A $16.5 billion gain had been expected by the Action Economics Forecast Survey.

Nonrevolving credit usage grew $14.68 billion (5.6% y/y) during June, the strongest increase in six months. Borrowing from the federal government, which issues over 40% of nonrevolving credit, rose 7.3% y/y. Depository institutions lending (25% of credit) gained an accelerated 6.1% y/y. Meanwhile, finance company balances edged 0.7% higher y/y and credit union loans strengthened 8.7% y/y. Each of these sectors provide roughly 15% of nonrevolving credit.
