16/12/2025 Argaam

US retail sales were largely unchanged in October on a monthly basis, signaling a slowdown in a key engine of US economic growth, US Department of Commerce data issued today, Dec. 16.

 

Retail sales in the US were stable in October compared to September, coming in at $732.6 billion. This total still represents a year-on-year (YoY) hike of nearly 3.5%.

 

The September figures were adjusted upward to reflect a monthly sales rise of 0.1%, amounting to $732.4 billion.

 

The October data release was originally set for the middle of November. However, it was delayed because of the recent US government shutdown.
