What it measures

The Census Bureau reports the monthly change in US retail sales, a measure of spending at stores and some service-related outlets. Markets compare it with forecasts; it is a key but volatile gauge of consumer demand.

Why it moves the USD

A strong report can support the dollar if it suggests US consumers and growth remain resilient, potentially delaying Fed cuts. A weak report can weigh on the currency, though sales values can be affected by prices and gasoline.
