May 18, 2022: -On Tuesday, Consumers were spending even in April, with retail sales increasing about in line with expectations of Wall street despite an ongoing rise in prices.
Sales per month increased 0.9% overall, just below the Dow Jones estimate for a 1% increase, the Commerce Department reported. Excluding autos, sales surged 0.6%, over the 0.4% estimate.
The numbers are not settling for inflation, indicating sustained spending and the most immediate acceleration in the U.S. economy’s prices in approximately 40 years.
In addition to the solid showing in April, March’s spending was revised substantially more heightened, from the original estimate of a 0.5% increase to a 1.4% gain. Ex-autos sales were revised snappily higher, to a gain of 2.1% in March against an original 1.1%.
Every year, sales increased by 8.2% on the headline number and 10.9%, which excluded autos.
April’s gains were powered by a 4% gain from various retail and a 2.1% increase in online sales. Bars and restaurants offered a solid 2% increase. All three categories posted considerable additional gains in March.
Bar and restaurant sales increased 19.8% from a year ago when the economy struggled with Covid-related restrictions. Despite a 2.7% decrease at gasoline stations, the growth came as energy prices fell this month. Still, gasoline sales zoomed 36.9% from the previous year.
The sales data are consistent with an economy that continues to increase despite inflation pressures.
Prices overall rose 0.3% in April and 0.6%, excluding food and energy. The consumer price index advanced 8.3% on the headline and 6.2% on the substance every year.
