16.07.202612:30:00UTC+00US June Retail Sales Growth Cools to 6.72% Year-on-Year, Down from May’s 7.33%

US retail sales growth eased in June 2026, with year-on-year figures showing a deceleration from the previous month’s pace. According to the latest update on 16 July 2026, retail sales rose 6.72% in June compared with the same month a year earlier, down from a 7.33% year-over-year increase recorded in May 2026.

Both figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s performance with the same month in the prior year. The moderation from May to June suggests that while consumer spending remains solid in annual terms, the peak in growth seen earlier in the second quarter may be losing some momentum. Investors and policymakers are likely to watch upcoming retail data closely to assess whether this slowdown is temporary or the start of a broader cooling in US consumer demand.
