Further good news from the US economy Friday evening with retail sales jumping 0.6% in August. The reading, in line with expectations, was higher than the upwardly-revised 0.3% increase of July and left the annual rate of change at a 12-month high of +5.0%. While not as strong as the headline figure, core sales, that which removes volatile items such as food, gasoline, autos and building materials, rose 0.4% leaving the year-on-year change at +4.1%. Breaking the release down even further, excluding gasoline sales only, sales jumped 0.7% with the annual rate surging to +5.7%. (VIEW LINK)
