What is Retail Sales?
Retail sales measure the total receipts of retail stores, reported monthly. They are the highest-frequency direct read on consumer spending — the largest component of GDP in most advanced economies.
Why it matters for FX
Strong retail sales signal that the consumer is still spending despite higher rates, which keeps the central bank cautious about cutting and supports the currency. Weak prints, especially when they coincide with falling real wages, are an early sign that monetary policy is biting and that cuts are coming.
How to read this page
Read month-over-month change first, then the control group (ex-autos, gas, food services, building materials in the US) which feeds into GDP. Watch for revisions and for nominal vs real distinctions in high-inflation environments.
What to watch for
- Control group / ex-autos to filter out volatile components
- Real vs nominal — an important distinction when inflation is high
- Holiday and seasonal adjustment effects
- Revisions to the prior month
- E-commerce share continuing to grow
