Retail Sales Slowdown: What It Means for Holiday Shopping & Fed Rate Cut
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Retail sales in the US stagnated in September, marking the first post-shutdown spending data, with a mere 0.2% increase, falling short of predictions. This comes ahead of the holiday shopping season, as investors and policymakers still lack clarity on Q3s economic growth. Major retailers report cautious spending, focusing on necessities and value, with lower and middle-income families feeling inflations impact. The Federal Reserves December meeting looms, with interest rate cuts expected as the job market slows and inflation persists.
