I had the major of these out on Twitter as they came out … the retail sales was quite slow to hit the wires … here’s the rest:

  • Retail Trade for July: -0.5% m/m (expected +0.3%, prior +0.5%)
  • Retail Trade for July: +0.5% y/y (expected -0.2%, prior -0.6%)
  • Industrial Production for July: +0.2% m/m (preliminary reading) (expected +1.0%, prior was -3.4%)
  • Industrial Production for July: -0.9 % y/y (preliminary) (expected -0.1%, prior was +3.1%)
