Motor-vehicle sales were up 1.1%, while gas station sales fell for a third month. The figures suggest consumer resilience heading into the new year. However, forecasters expect a slowdown in 2024 due to lingering inflation, elevated borrowing costs, and waning savings.

Version 0.31 (2023-12-15 09:26:38.040000)

updates: US retail sales unexpectedly rose in November as the holiday shopping season got off to a brisk start amid deep discounting, likely keeping the economy on a moderate growth path this quarter and further alleviating fears of a recession. The rebound in retail sales reported by the Commerce Department yesterday underscored consumers’ resilience, thanks to a strong labour market, and cast doubts on financial markets’ expectations for a rate cut as early as next March. Retail sales increased 0.3 per cent last month after falling 0.2pc in October, the Commerce Department’s Census Bureau said.

The University of Michigan's consumer survey shows increased confidence due to improvements in the expected trajectory of inflation.
