US DATA: Redbook Retail Sales Remained Robust Heading Into 2nd Half Of May
May-20 13:15
Johnson Redbook's retail sales index posted a 5.4% Y/Y rise in the week ending May 17, which brought May month-to-date to 5.6% Y/Y (above retailers' 5.4% target).
- The report noted that while midweek sales were slow, there was solid shopping on both weekends (Mother's Day May 11, and picking up again last weekend). "Sales of home improvement and outdoor goods increased, although severe storms and flooding in the central USA disrupted business operations."
- In a rare note of caution, "shoppers are becoming more budget-conscious, and retailers are hopeful that sales will strengthen with the arrival of warmer weather, graduations, and the Memorial Day weekend."
- Nonetheless, a 5.6% Y/Y rise would mark the 4th month in a row of 5+% sales, averaging 5.9% over that period. As it accounts for 80% of the Census Bureau Retail Sales series, the latter looks to remain relatively robust this month despite waning consumer confidence.
