Brent crude heads towards $103 a barrel while Asian shares slideThe solid Tesco results show why its future looks less like a supermarket chain and more like a consumer data platform, says Nick Sherrard, managing director of the consultancy Label Sessions.He explains:Tesco has turned in another solid set of results, showing it can keep growing even when the wider economy feels uncertain. Sales, profits, and cash generation are all moving in the right direction, and record customer satisfaction suggests shoppers are responding to its mix of low prices, better quality, and easier ways to shop.Bigger picture, the company's growth has quietly become a technology story.
