Warning signs emerged in the July 2025 Federal Reserve lending survey, revealing entrenched structural stress across U.S. credit markets. Banks imposed tighter lending standards for nearly all categories, with business and consumer loan access deteriorating despite easing compared to 2024. Commercial and industrial credit dried up, particularly for small firms, as banks cited regulatory pressure, systemic risk aversion, and fragile economic outlooks. Credit constraints worsened for commercial real estate, especially in construction and land development, exposing vulnerabilities in property finance. Household borrowing showed stagnation, with mortgage demand slumping and credit card standards tightening, while only home equity lines saw stronger uptake. Critically, banks acknowledged current standards sit on the tightest end of a two-decade range, a sign of systemic credit throttling. As the Fed noted, “lending standards…remain tight relative to their historical ranges,” hinting at persistent financial rigidity. The findings reflect deeper institutional hesitance, suggesting systemic credit transmission issues are impeding economic momentum.
