WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. retail sales rose by 1.4% in May, the largest seasonally adjusted gain in 16 months, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.
Sales rose for all categories of spending, from gasoline and autos to building supplies and clothing.
The gains were much better than expected by economists on Wall Street, who were looking for a 0.7% increase. Reports by automakers and retail chain stores were much softer than the government's data showed, perhaps because of differences in the way the two sources seasonally adjust the data.
The report should reassure markets and policymakers that consumers are regaining their footing after a very weak start to the spring. Economists had thought consumers would slow their pace of spending in the second quarter in the face of much higher gasoline prices.
April's sales were revised higher by a tenth to a 0.1% decline.
Inflation accounted for much of the sales gain in May, but by no means all of it. Gasoline sales rose 3.8%, driven by record prices at the pump. Sales excluding gas rose 1.2%. Gas prices are expected to ease slightly, but remain above $3 a gallon for the remainder of the summer, the Energy Department estimated Tuesday.
Details
The big surprise in the retail sales report came from the automakers and the chain stores.
Auto sales rose 1.8%, the government said, but the automakers reported a decline in unit sales. Excluding autos, retail sales rose 1.3%, the largest in 16 months, compared with the 0.9% gain expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
Excluding both autos and gas, sales rose 1%, the most since January 2006.
Sales at the malls were strong, despite tepid reports from the retail chains. Sales at general merchandise stores rose 1% and department store sales rose 1.3%, the most in 19 months.
Clothing store sales rose 2.7%, while sales at music, book and sporting goods stores rose 1.8%.
Higher food prices had little impact. Food store sales gained 0.3%, although sales at restaurants and bars increased 0.7%.
Sales at health- and personal-care stores rose 0.8%.
Sales of durable goods were generally strong, Sales at building materials stores rose 2.1%, reversing a similar loss in April. Sales at electronics and appliance stores rose 1.3%. Sales at furniture stores rose 0.3%.
