#USRetailSales #EconomicGrowth #SeptemberSales #FederalReserve #InterestRates #RetailMarket #EconomicRecovery
According to Odaily, U.S. retail sales in September saw a slight increase, surpassing expectations and supporting the view of strong economic growth in the third quarter. The monthly retail sales rate for September recorded a 0.4% increase, compared to an unrevised 0.1% rise in August. While these signs of economic recovery may not prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates again next month, they do reinforce the expectation of a 25 basis point rate cut.#USRetailSales #EconomicGrowth #SeptemberSales #FederalReserve #InterestRates #RetailMarket #EconomicRecovery

🚀 U.S. Retail Sales Data Release Delayed Due to Government Shutdown
#USRetailSales #GovernmentShutdown #ConsumerSpending #Inflation #LaborMarket #FederalReserve #EconomicData #RetailEconomy #USCensusBureau #EconomicForecast
According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Census Bureau is set to release the retail sales data, often referred to as the 'scary data,' at 9:30 PM UTC+8 on Tuesday. The release, delayed for over a month due to the government shutdown, is expected to indicate a slight slowdown in consumer spending for September. This could suggest that after months of inflationary pressures, American households may have reached their spending limits. Additionally, the risk of cooling consumer spending persists as many employers have reduced hiring.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predict a 0.4% increase in September retail sales, following a 0.6% rise in the previous month. Bloomberg economists note that the labor market conditions have slightly improved after hitting a low point in the summer. However, the partial federal government shutdown in October has introduced new challenges to hiring and consumer spending. "Overall, we believe the Federal Reserve can and likely should cut interest rates in December to sustain the fragile recovery that began in the summer."#USRetailSales #GovernmentShutdown #ConsumerSpending #Inflation #LaborMarket #FederalReserve #EconomicData #RetailEconomy #USCensusBureau #EconomicForecast
🚀 U.S. Retail Sales Growth Slows in September After Strong Gains
#USRetailSales #ConsumerSpending #EconomicGrowth #RetailTrends #SeptemberData #KShapedRecovery #GDP #USMarkets
According to BlockBeats, U.S. retail sales in September grew at a slower pace than expected, following a period of robust increases. Data released on Tuesday indicated a 0.2% month-over-month rise in retail sales, compared to an unrevised 0.6% increase in August. Economists had anticipated a 0.4% growth for the month.
The acceleration in sales in previous months was partly driven by consumers rushing to purchase electric vehicles before the expiration of tax credits at the end of September. Despite the slowdown, economists do not expect it to alter their forecasts for a rebound in consumer spending in the third quarter. Retail sales, excluding automobiles, gasoline, building materials, and food services, fell by 0.1% in September, while August's figures were revised to a 0.6% increase.
These core retail sales figures closely align with the consumer spending component of GDP. However, current consumption is primarily driven by high-income households, as many middle- and low-income consumers face rising costs, partly due to import tariffs, contributing to what economists describe as a K-shaped economy.#USRetailSales #ConsumerSpending #EconomicGrowth #RetailTrends #SeptemberData #KShapedRecovery #GDP #USMarkets

#USRetailSales #JanuaryDecline #WeatherDisruptions #AutomotiveSector #RetailPerformance #WinterStorm #FlightCancellations #PowerOutages #USEconomy #RetailData
U.S. retail sales experienced a decline in January, primarily due to weak performance in the automotive sector and disruptions caused by winter weather. According to Jin10, data from the U.S. Commerce Department released on Friday indicated that retail sales, unadjusted for inflation, fell by 0.2% in January, following a flat performance in December. Excluding auto dealers, sales remained largely unchanged.
Out of 13 categories, seven recorded declines, with auto sales dropping by 0.9%. Other sectors such as clothing stores, gas stations, and health and personal care stores also saw reduced revenues. A prolonged winter storm brought significant snowfall and ice to the central and eastern United States, likely hindering consumer activity during the weather event.
The Arctic blast led to the highest number of flight cancellations since the pandemic began and caused power outages for over one million homes and businesses.#USRetailSales #JanuaryDecline #WeatherDisruptions #AutomotiveSector #RetailPerformance #WinterStorm #FlightCancellations #PowerOutages #USEconomy #RetailData
