Retail Sales for October
The retailers tracked by Thomson Reuters posted in October an average
increase of 3.4 percent in sales at stores open at least a year compared
with the same month last year, missing analyst estimates of 4.5 percent. The
disappointing growth followed stronger results in August, when same-store
sales rose 4.4 percent, and September, when they rose 5.1 percent. |
