Today’s New York Dow was a sell-first, but eventually turned into positive territory. The Nasdaq continued to rise. The US retail sales figures for January, announced on the 15th, showed strong consumer demand, which was seen as a negative factor.
U.S. retail sales rose 3% in January, beating economists’ expectations of 2%, the biggest increase in two years. All 13 categories, including cars, furniture and restaurants, were positive, suggesting continued spending on goods and services despite rising borrowing costs and persistently high inflation. Following the previous day’s CPI, there are concerns that the policy interest rate will be raised to a higher level than expected in response to strong economic indicators.
