Weekly Wrap: Declining vehicle demand, increased NCOs may be on the horizon
Tight supply continues to drive up used-car prices, sparking concerns about how long consumer demand will hold up.

Meanwhile, the future of another round of government stimulus support remains undecided, prompting subprime auto lenders to prepare for an imminent rise in delinquencies and net charge-off rates.
