According to DataTrack data, the unadjusted US retail sales excluding autos in August 2026 stood at $510.663 billion, representing a decline of approximately 3.48% from July. Although the raw data fell due to seasonal factors, external seasonally adjusted consensus shows that core retail sales defied the trend with a 1.4% month-over-month increase in August. Benefiting from the wealth effect and energy price fluctuations, this reflects that underlying consumer resilience remains robust.
