US consumer credit rises $7.6 bln

  • Non-revolving debt rises $10.3 bln
  • Credit card, other revolving debt falls $2.7 bln

My guess is that car loans are leading the way… Update: Turns out it is student loans that pushed it up…

Credit cards are being paid down but consumers are buying big-ticket items. That suggests a certain amount of consumer confidence, a good sign for the economy.
