美国3月零售销售增幅超出预期,剔除汽车销售后增幅增大

-- 美国3月份零售销售额增长1.7%,高于彭博社截至美国东部时间上午7:35汇总的调查预期的1.4%,也高于上月修正后的0.7%的增幅。 剔除汽车销售额0.5%的增长后,零售销售额增长1.9%,高于预期的1.4%。2月份的增幅为0.7%。 剔除汽车销售额和加油站销售额15.5%的激增后,3月份零售销售额增长0.6%,与2月份持平,这主要得益于各行业的普遍增长。 餐饮场所的销售额增长0.1%,高于上月的0.5%。 家具、电子产品、建材、医疗保健、百货商店和非实体零售商的销售额也出现了显著增长。 剔除汽车、建材、加油站和餐饮服务等行业的零售销售数据,继上月增长0.6%之后,本月又增长了0.8%。 美国商务部发布的月度零售销售报告衡量的是零售商品和食品的支出,这是经济增长的最大组成部分。该报告涵盖商品支出,服务支出报告则在每月晚些时候发布。 投资者密切关注剔除餐饮服务、汽车、汽油和建材等行业的零售销售数据,因为它直接影响到衡量经济增长的GDP报告。 如果数据显示美国经济强劲,通常对股市有利,而对债券市场不利。
