updates: Retail sales in July surged by 1%, the biggest increase since January 2023. Auto dealers, electronics and appliance stores, and grocery stores reported strong sales gains. The U.S. economy remains resilient despite higher prices and elevated interest rates. Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign plans to ban 'price gouging' on groceries. Other economic data, including unemployment benefits, showed positive signs. Morgan Stanley has boosted their forecast for growth in the July-September quarter to a 2.3% annual rate. Inflation-adjusted wages have increased slightly from a year ago. Auto sales jumped 3.6% in July, the largest increase since January 2023. Walmart reported strong sales and boosted its sales outlook for this year. Some economists worry that much of Americans' spending is being fueled by increased use of credit cards. Inflation slowed in July, with consumer prices rising just 2.9% from a year earlier.

Version 0.38 (2024-05-15 20:52:32.459000)
updates: The latest data suggests that consumers may be getting tired and scaling back their spending due to high interest rates, decreased savings, and high debt. The slowdown in retail sales was driven by a decrease in online sales, which could be attributed to an Amazon sales event in March and the earlier timing of Easter this year. Economists also point to depleted savings, high debt, and slowing job growth as factors contributing to the slowdown. The gains in sales over the past year may be more due to inflation than increased consumer demand. The slowdown in retail sales could potentially lead to a reduction in inflationary pressure and prompt the Federal Reserve to consider cutting its benchmark interest rate. Inflation rose at a slower rate in April compared to March but is still above the Fed's long-term target. Fed officials will likely see the data as a partial offset to the persistently elevated inflation environment.
