-- 美國3月零售銷售額成長1.7%,高於彭博社截至美國東部時間上午7:35匯總的調查預期的1.4%,也高於上月修正後的0.7%的增幅。 剔除汽車銷售額0.5%的成長後,零售銷售成長1.9%,高於預期的1.4%。 2月份的增幅為0.7%。 剔除汽車銷售額和加油站銷售額15.5%的激增後,3月份零售銷售額成長0.6%,與2月持平,這主要得益於各產業的普遍成長。 餐飲場所的銷售額成長0.1%,高於上月的0.5%。 家具、電子產品、建材、醫療保健、百貨公司和非實體零售商的銷售額也出現了顯著增長。 剔除汽車、建材、加油站和餐飲服務等產業的零售銷售數據,繼上月成長0.6%之後,本月又成長了0.8%。 美國商務部發布的月度零售銷售報告衡量的是零售商品和食品的支出,這是經濟成長的最大組成部分。該報告涵蓋商品支出,服務支出報告則在每月稍後發布。 投資人密切關注剔除餐飲服務、汽車、汽油和建材等產業的零售銷售數據,因為它直接影響衡量經濟成長的GDP報告。 如果數據顯示美國經濟強勁,通常對股市有利,對債券市場不利。
