Retail sales in the U.S. fell in May for a second month as slower employment and subdued wage gains damped demand, a sign that our economy is cooling. The 0.2 percent decrease followed a similar decline in April that was previously reported as a gain, according to the Commerce Department. Last month’s drop matched the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Sales excluding automobiles slumped by the most in two years |
The Labor Department reported lower costs energy and food pulled the U.S. producer price index down 1.0% in May, the biggest one-month drop in close to three years and it matched expectations. |
