U.S. retail sales experienced a notable decline of 0.6% in July, marking the largest drop since May 2025. This decrease is attributed to the fading impact of government tax refunds and a pullback in spending on vehicles and electronics. Despite the overall dip, restaurant sales saw a modest increase, and inflation remained relatively stable, though still outpacing wage growth. Retailers are now focusing on the back-to-school season, offering discounts to attract inflation-weary consumers. AI
