US consumer borrowing increased in June by less than forecast, reflecting smaller credit-card balances.
Total credit outstanding rose $8.9 billion after an upwardly revised $13.9 billion advance in May, according to Federal Reserve data released Wednesday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a $10 billion increase. The figures aren’t adjusted for inflation.
