Data through August 2015, released by S&P Dow Jones Indices and Experian for the S&P/Experian Consumer Credit Default Indices, a comprehensive measure of changes in consumer credit defaults, showed small improvements in numerous default rates. The composite rate was 0.96% in August, up four basis points from the previous month. The first mortgage default rate and the auto loan default rate also raised four basis points to 0.84% and 0.90%, respectively. The bank card default rate was the only rate to report a decrease in August at 2.71%, down eight basis points from the previous month.
Four of the five major cities saw their default rates improvement in the month of August. New York saw the largest improvement, reporting 1.04%, up 12 basis points from July. Dallas saw its default rate improvement by seven basis points to 0.71% in August. Chicago stated its third successive improvement with a 1.21% rate, up six basis points from the previous month. Miami stated a default rate of 1.46%, up one basis point for the month. Los Angeles was down 13 basis points to 0.76%, the only city to report a decrease in August.
“The ongoing improvement in the consumer economy is reflected in consumer credit default rates,” says David M. Blitzer, Managing Director and Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “In recent months, we have seen substantial job growth, improvements in consumer spending, and a rise in consumer credit outstanding. Despite continued weak wage growth, consumer credit default rates remain in a narrow range at low pre-financial crisis levels. Two economic areas showing strength are auto sales and housing. Car and light truck sales saw recent gains reaching an annual rate of about 17.5 million units as sales of new homes and housing starts picked up. To reflect that the growth in credit is largely due to loosening of credit standards indicating banks are willing to bear raised risk by approving more sub-prime consumers - which will lead the higher default rates.”
