Consumer Spending has slowed dramatically in the 2nd Quarter:

Redbook reports a very soft June 30 week for U.S. retailers, showing only a 1.2 percent year-on-year rise in the week. For the month of June, Redbook pegs year-on-year sales growth at 1.6 percent which compares with ICSC-UBS's range of 1.5 to 2.0 percent. Vehicle sales later today will offer another angle on consumer spending in June, which based on chain-store reports looks no better, if not weaker, than May.

This follows the poor showings in both April and May.
