WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)U.S. consumers increased their debt by a seasonally adjusted $5.1 billion, or at a 2.5% annual rate, in May, the Federal Reserve reported Friday.
This is the eighth straight monthly increase.
The gain was smaller than the roughly $4.0 billion increase Wall Street had expected.
In addition, consumer credit for April was revised down to a $5.7 billion increase compared with the initial estimate of a $6.3 billion rise.
Both credit card and non-revolving credit expanded in May.
Credit card debt rose $3.4 billion, or at a 5.1% annual rate, after falling for four straight months. Non-revolving credit, such as auto loans, personal loans and student loans, rose $1.7 billion, or at a 1.3% rate, after an $6.5 billion rise in the prior month.
