Conversion rates for self-pay subscribers saw slight declines, especially as younger car purchasers entered the trial funnel, and used car conversion rates remained lower than new car rates.

US Treasury Lifts Q2 Borrowing Estimate

The US Treasury said Monday that it expects to borrow $189 billion in Q2, a larger borrowing estimate than the $109 billion it announced in its previous statement.The reason for the increase in the borrowing estimate was lower projected net cash flows that were partially offset by a higher-than-expected cash balance at the start of the quarter. The Treasury still assumes a $900 billion end-of-quarter balance.Borrowing is seen at $671 billion in Q3, with an estimated cash balance of $950 billion at the end of September.The Treasury borrowed $577 billion in Q1, ending March with an $893 billion cash balance at the end of the quarter. The Treasury had previously expected to borrow $574 billion with an end-of-March cash balance of $850 billion.The slightly higher amount of Q1 borrowing was due to a higher-than-assumed end-of-quarter cash balance that were partially offset by higher net cash flows, the Treasury said.
