What is Retail Sales MoM?

Retail Sales measures the total receipts of retail stores. It is an early indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for the majority of economic activity in most developed economies.

Trading Implications

Retail sales beats confirm consumer strength and support the domestic currency. Core retail sales (ex-autos) are watched more closely than the headline.
