Gewinn & Umsatz News zur STIFEL FINANCIAL Aktie

 

US retail sales slumped in January by the most in nearly two years, indicating an abrupt pullback by consumers after a spending spree in the closing months of 2024. The value of retail purchases, not adjusted for inflation, decreased 0.9% after an upwardly revised 0.7% gain in December, Commerce Department data showed Friday. Nine of the report's 13 categories posted decreases, most notably motor vehicles, sporting goods and furniture stores. The data encompassed a period marked by devastating wildfires in Los Angeles — the second-largest metropolitan area in the US — and severe winter weather in other parts of the country, which could have depressed brick-and-mortar shopping activity. Lindsey Piegza, Chief Economist at Stifel Financial, details the broader implications of this week's hotter-than-forecast inflation data and retail sales miss. Dr. Piegza speaks with Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio. (Source: Bloomberg)...
