Retail Sales Across Multiple Segments were up in October.
Today’s post is by Ronald D. Southard, CEO at SafeSourcing Inc
According to TRADINGECONOMICS Retail sales in the US surged 1.3% month-over-month in October of 2022, the strongest increase in eight months, after a flat reading in September and beating market forecasts of a 1% gain. Sales at motor vehicle dealers were up 1.3% as supply chain constraints have been easing while rising gasoline costs pushed sales at gasoline stations 4.1% higher. Excluding gasoline and autos, retail sales were up 0.9%. Other increases were also seen for sales at food services and drinking places (1.6%), food and beverages stores (1.4%).
