Por qué importa
Retail sales are the most timely measure of household spending, the largest part of the economy. Strong sales support growth and the South Korean won; weak sales raise recession worries. In the US the "control group" (without autos, petrol, building materials and food services) feeds directly into GDP.
Cómo se calcula
Statistics Korea surveys retailers on their monthly sales; value figures include price changes, volume figures remove them. Seasonal adjustment removes holiday patterns.
Change (mom) = sales this month ÷ sales last month − 1Qué significan los cambios
- Compare value and volume: rising value with falling volume is inflation, not stronger demand.
- Ex-autos and ex-fuel versions remove the most volatile parts.
- Revisions to the previous month can change the picture.
Mayor de lo esperado: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the South Korean won and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Menor de lo esperado: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the South Korean won tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Una breve historia
The US Census Bureau has published monthly retail sales since the 1950s; most countries followed in the post-war decades.
