Markets await US core retail sales data for July
Small rise expected — impact on dollar?
|
Today, Friday, August 15, 2025, at 4:30 PM UAE time, the United States will release Core Retail Sales (MoM) data for July—a measure of the change in retail sales excluding autos. Expectations indicate a 0.3% monthly growth, following the previous June reading of 0.5%. This indicator is considered one of the most prominent tools for measuring consumer resilience and is crucial for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions. |

The market is eagerly awaiting whether July sales confirm a sustained recovery or reflect a subtle slowdown in consumer spending. A stronger-than-expected reading would strengthen the US dollar and could raise expectations for monetary policy. A weaker reading could open the door to further fiscal easing.
