Holiday retail sales expected to be tepid 09/21 11:06 AM By Phil Wahba

(Reuters) - Retailers may face more moderate sales gains this holiday season as persistently high unemployment and higher gas and grocery prices prompt shoppers to think twice about spending.

Retail sales are expected to rise 3 percent in November and December, a slower pace than the 4.1 percent gains in 2010 and barely more than inflation, according to a forecast from research firm ShopperTrak released on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the International Council of Shopping Centers suggested that sales at U.S. shopping centers would rise just 2.2 percent, to $449 billion, after a 5 percent rise in 2010.
