Consumer credit rose more than anticipated in June, according to .

What鈥檚 going on: 鈥淥verall credit increased $17.8 billion, topping economists’ average forecast for a $13 billion gain, to $4.977 trillion in June, the Fed said late Monday. May’s borrowing also was revised up by about $2 billion.鈥�

• However 鈥� despite the June rise, 鈥渙verall credit increases have moderated over the past year, showing the Fed’s aggressive interest rate hikes to squelch spending and lower inflation are working.鈥�

鈥淣onrevolving鈥� credit: Nonrevolving credit鈥攍ump sums repaid only once, such as those for school tuition and car purchases鈥攋umped by $18.5 billion to $3.735 trillion, largely on the strength of auto sales.

Short-term debt: Short-term debt, such as credit card debt, fell in June for the first time in more than two years, to $1.262 trillion. This is likely due to the sharp increase in credit card interest rates, according to a report cited by USA Today.

The big picture: Consumer spending has stayed steady despite rising inflation owing to savings built up during the global pandemic.
