Spending at US retailers rose in April following two months of declines, showing the US consumer is still fueling the economy.

Retail sales, which are adjusted for seasonality but not for inflation, rose by 0.4% in April from the prior month, the Department of Commerce reported on Tuesday. That’s a weaker gain than the 0.8% increase that economists were expecting, according to Refinitiv. The April increase was driven by spending at car dealerships, restaurants, online, and at “miscellaneous” stores such as floral shops and pet supply stores.

An economic slowdown will be driven in part by tighter credit conditions, which only intensified after the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in March, according to a recent survey of senior loan officers gauging lending activity in the first quarter. It’ll only get harder to borrow in the months ahead, economists said.
