美国6月零售销售增长0.2%,弱于预期的+0.5%。年初至今的销售额增长了1.5%,而同期的通货膨胀率为3%,因此消费者活动放缓是有道理的。
FxPro高级分析师Alex Kuptsikevich指出:不包括汽车在内的销售额也增长了0.2%(预期增长0.4%)。即使不考虑去年6月的价格调整,该指标也显示出停滞。这种销售动态是美联储紧缩货币政策和新冠病毒大流行期间支付积累的刺激措施消耗库存的本质结果。

疲软的零售销售可以成为美联储放松货币政策的借口。但最近几周,联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)成员不断向市场发出警告,称今年将加息两次,并将暂停加息时间延长。
简单地说,对市场而言,这意味着尽管有警告信号,但仍愿意为经济降温。对股指来说,这已经是个令人担忧的信号。如果最新的零售销售数据促使股市重新评估其对消费者需求强度的乐观态度,那就不足为奇了。
