The latest value for US unadjusted retail sales in Q2 2026 (2026-06-01) was $777.64 billion, a decrease of 2.3% from the previous period's $796.04 billion, but an 8.5% increase compared to the same period last year. Although the unadjusted data showed some year-over-year resilience, the latest market estimates and subsequent July data both reflect signs of a consumer slowdown. Going forward, it is necessary to closely monitor the potential impact of inflation and the labor market on real purchasing power in the US.
