2026.08.1112:55:00UTC+00US Redbook Index Shows Slight Cooling in Annual Retail Sales Growth

United States retail sales growth eased modestly in the latest Redbook report, signaling a slight cooling in consumer spending momentum. According to data updated on 11 August 2026, the Redbook index’s year-over-year reading slipped to 8.3%, down from the previous 8.7%.

The Redbook indicator measures the change in same-store sales compared with the same month a year earlier, offering a timely snapshot of retail sector health. The current figure compares the latest monthly performance to the same month last year, while the previous reading reflected the prior month’s performance versus its year-ago level. Although growth remains robust, the marginal slowdown may draw attention from analysts tracking how resilient U.S. consumer demand remains in the face of evolving economic conditions.
