Headline sales were down 0.9% month-on-month in nominal terms (consensus -0.2%) while the control group that excludes the volatile autos, food service, building materials and gasoline and supposedly better tracks broader consumer trends fell 0.8% (consensus +0.3%). As these are nominal value changes and we know prices rose 0.5% MoM according to the CPI report, this implies ...

The main event in the European session was the UK employment report. The data was much better than expected, especially on the wage growth side, and the GBP got a boost from that. In terms of market pricing it shouldn't change much as the BoE is widely expected to keep the Bank Rate unchanged this week. In the American session, the Canadian CPI and the US Retail Sales will take the spotlight. The Canadian CPI Y/Y is expected at 2.0% vs. 2.0% prior, while the M/M figure is seen at 0.1% vs. 0.4% prior. The Trimmed-Mean CPI Y/Y is ...

A big 1.6% MoM increase in autos was the main factor, but building materials (+0.5%) and restaurants and bars (+0.7%) both contributed strongly. The “control” group, which excludes volatile items (the three just listed plus gasoline) and has a better record of tracking broader consumer spending that includes services, was quite a bit weaker, falling 0.1% MoM versus ...
