Credit Card Delinquencies Reach All Time Highs in Latest Fed Report
Philadelphia, PA...Nominal credit card balances moved up in the fourth quarter of 2023, establishing a new series high. Card utilization also rose, as is typical at year-end, and consumers with stretched credit lines drew further on those lines. Credit limits increased for more consumers than in the third quarter, especially for those with already-high credit limits.
Fourth quarter 2023 featured the worst card performance in the series. All stages of account-based delinquency reached series highs. Only the 90+ balance-based rate was under its series high, set over a decade ago. As credit performance deteriorated, the median origination credit limit decreased for a second consecutive quarter.
Mortgage originations were the lowest in the series. Originated mortgages hint at a possible change in the risk approach of firms. While credit scores remain steady, median original front-end debt-to-income and loan-to-value are elevated compared with fourth quarter 2021 levels. There was a slight quarter-over-quarter increase in the 30+ days past due rate, but delinquencies are near series lows and well below pre-pandemic levels.
Credit Card Real Balances and Utilization Approaching Pre-Pandemic Figures
Nominal credit card account balances, which surpassed series highs for the 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles in the third quarter of 2023, continued to grow in the fourth quarter of 2023. Nominal account balances, however, have increased in the fourth quarter every year in the data because of seasonal factors. When adjusted using the U.S. consumer price index, real account balances remained below the percentile levels reported in the fourth quarter of 2019. Real account balances are quickly approaching pre-pandemic heights, though, with the median real account balance increasing 5.4 percent year over year. Correspondingly, the 50th and 75th percentiles of card utilization rose 35 basis points and 375 basis points year over year and were 31 and 57 basis points shy of where they were at the end of 2019, respectively. The 90th percentile utilization rate is at a series high.
Credit Card Performance Worsened to Historical Levels
Credit card performance further deteriorated at the end of 2023, with firms recording the worst 30+, 60+, and 90+ account-based days past due levels in the reporting series. Notably, card performance usually declines in the fourth quarter. Stress among cardholders was further underscored in payment behavior, as the share of accounts making minimum payments rose 34 basis points to a series high from last quarter’s reading. The share of accounts making full balance payments did tick up 8 basis points in the fourth quarter, but the 3.1 percent increase in revolving balances implies higher card balances among a smaller group of revolvers. Median origination credit scores jumped 2 points, supporting data from the Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey that suggest that credit card lending standards at most large banks tightened somewhat or remained unchanged in the fourth quarter of 2023. However, current credit scores at the 10th and 25th percentiles of cardholders decreased to their lowest levels since the first quarter of 2020, indicating further performance deterioration could be on the horizon.
New Mortgages Exhibit Riskier Characteristics as Affordability Issues Persist
Originations declined to a series low in the fourth quarter of 2023 as market headwinds continued to stifle overall mortgage demand. Year-end data highlighted shifts in large bank underwriting practices, largely related to rising housing costs. Origination credit scores remain at or near levels observed in the fourth quarter of 2021. However, the median front-end debt-to-income (DTI) ratio rose to a series high and sits 500 basis points above its fourth quarter 2021 level. Median origination loan size and loan-to-value (LTV) have increased 9.3 percent and 900 basis points, respectively, over the same time period. Combined, the increases underscore continued affordability issues as housing costs consume a larger share of borrowers’ budgets. This indication coincides with the Atlanta Fed’s report that home affordability has drastically worsened since the end of 2021.

Hey dotards: see the big drop in 2020?
That was all the free government stimulus money flowing into your businesses and pockets to keep your poor asses from starving.
See how the graph skyrockets in 2021, 2022 and 2023; that's the inflation payback.
No free lunch dotards, that's how life works.
So stop crying about inflation, you took the money...

Yeah, afterwards his diaper is full just like Biden's.
Get real you dumb phuck/ feloncrats Joe's numbers are falling faster then Anti's panties when he sees a male dog. It's all because Joe's screwed up our economy, our National Security, started two wars thru his weakness, weaponized our justice system against anyone who speaks out against him
Everything he's done has been disastrous. Keep believing everything you hear from Biden and the legacy news and don't use your computer or your tiny little brain to search the news. That's why you're called Dumbacrats.

For the benefit of..................wait for it...................BIG BUSINESS!!!
How's all that debt working out for our country??
Thanks Reagan, the Republican Party, and what they stand for.

Yes Trump did, and states like CA did everything to stop him. That's why we Billions of Dollars in Debt dumbass, and it's more expensive every year.
"Mass illegal immigration and misguided state policies that provide illegal alien with benefits and services now cost California's shrinking tax base nearly $31 billion a year, according to a newly-released cost analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)."

I always thought that it must have been hard for trump not to brag that he banged those beautiful women, and instead he had to deny and payoff.

Joke and his band of dumb as es created the problem, then you turn around and bail the loosers out, and now ur the savior of the world! This really boils down to one major issue for many, u live a lifestyle that I have at 80, and you are still living in your parents care at 35, most of us seniors worked till we could afford some thing, you have been taught to buy, buy buy, someone will pay for it, such as student loan forgiveness, learn to live within your means!

Corporations receive tax breaks, billions in profits passed on to the stock market.
Farm subsidies. Money passed on for producing nothing. Raising consumer prices.
Oil companies. Us oil production at its highest levels, yet FauxNews has the dotards convinced that the price of gas is due to Biden policies.
Inflation. Caused by the 1% to convince the 99% that Bidenomics is at fault.
Trump will MAGA.
