  • The economy remains steady, maintaining a positive outlook even though the GDP growth slowed in the first quarter.
  • Real estate is holding ground even as rates rise. We’ve reached a 7-year high in 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, which could have a longer-term effect on this market.
  • Bankcard may be reaching its limit — outstanding balances hit $764 billion and delinquency rates continue to rise.
  • While auto originations were flat in Q1, performance is improving as focus moves away from subprime lending.
