US retail sales fall sharply in January; weekly jobless claims decline

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
U.S. retail sales fell more than expected in January due to declines in auto dealership and gasoline station receipts. Winter storms and revisions in December sales further contributed to the drop. However, consumer spending remains healthy with a resilient labor market and rising household purchasing power. Initial claims for unemployment benefits also decreased, indicating a tight labor market.
