AI Data Insight

The newly released seasonally adjusted US retail and food services sales for Q3 2026 (July) stood at 647,440 million USD, representing a significant decline of approximately 2.0% from the previous 660,638 million USD and unexpectedly missing market expectations. Dragged down by the earlier timing of Amazon's Prime Day as well as weak sales in automobiles and gas stations, consumption momentum is facing short-term pressure. However, the market estimates that the upcoming back-to-school season demand is expected to provide fundamental support for subsequent consumption momentum.
