From economics.bmo.com|5 hr agoSturdy retail sales in the second quarter suggest consumers largely shrugged off higher fuel costs. Sales rose an expected 0.2% in June following an upwardly revised increase of 1.0% in May. Sales were mixed across outlets, with autos driving the gain. A pullback in fuel prices dragged down service stations receipts. The control measure of sales that excludes autos, gasoline, building materials, and food services rose an expected and solid 0.5% following an even stronger 0.8% rise the prior month. The quarterly increase in this ...
From think.ing.com|8 hr agoJune US retail sales matched market expectations, rising 0.2% month-on-month at the headline level with the control group, which excludes volatile items (gasoline, food service, autos, building materials), and better tracks broader consumer spending trends, rising 0.5% MoM. Remember these are dollar value figures and lower gasoline prices meant gasoline station sales fell 5.3% MoM. Non-store (internet) sales continue to be the main source of growth, rising 1.9% MoM, likely boosted by Amazon Prime Day. In year-on-year terms, sales are ...

From economics.bmo.com|Jun 17, 2026|5 commentsConsumers showed their resilience yet again last month. U.S. retail sales growth jumped a better than expected 0.9% in May following a downwardly revised 0.4% advance in April. Higher goods and energy prices are definitely boosting the sales gains, but consumers in aggregate continue to meet the challenge and grow their real inflation-adjusted spending. The consensus forecast was expecting a solid 0.6% gain. Slower real disposable personal income growth and a declining saving rate have dented consumer confidence, but have not yet ...

From finance.yahoo.com|May 14, 2026U.S. retail sales increased solidly for a third straight month in April, though part of the rise in receipts was due to a sharp rise in inflation since the start of the U.S.-backed war with Iran. Rising price pressures were underscored by other data on Thursday showing imported inflation last month rose at its fastest pace in four years. Larger tax refunds this year as well as strong stock market gains are providing households a cushion against rising inflation. But price rises are outpacing wage gains, the tax filing season is over ...
From krdo.com|May 14, 2026|4 commentsAmericans continue to open their wallets, despite record-low consumer sentiment due to the war with Iran, in part thanks to a resilient US labor market. Retail sales climbed 0.5% in April from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Thursday, down from March’s 1.6%. That was slightly below the 0.6% increase economists projected in a poll by data firm FactSet. The figures are adjusted for seasonal swings but not inflation. Various surveys show that US consumers have grown frustrated with price spikes associated with the conflict ...
