not like store to store sales released

Preview

Briefing expects the August retail sales report to reveal a 0.8% overall increase and a 0.6% gain excluding autos.
The market is looking for 0.6% and 0.5%.

If our estimates prove accurate then the August retail sales report will display broad-based strength. Excellent housing-market conditions have produced strong
showings from the building materials and furniture segments all year, and August looks to prove no different. In terms of transport, a strong unit-vehicle sales
showing will produce an increase in the retail auto segment, and a pop in gasoline prices will produce a surge in sales at gasoline stations. Meantime chain-store
sales figures for August point to good gains in the apparel and general merchandise segments.

A 0.8% increase in July personal consumption expenditure got Q3 spending off to a smart start (remember that PCE feeds directly into the GDP calculation).
Indeed, we are well on our way to a quarterly increase in the neighborhood of 3.5% even in the absence of robust August and/or September showings. Note that
if our August retail estimate proves accurate then third-quarter consumption will come in better than 4.0% and possibly as high as 4.6%.
