US Retail Sales Show Slow Growth

KDKA 1020 Pittsburgh Market 1h2m Impact 6
Continued demand for AI-related stocks contributed to a market increase, alongside a modest rise in retail sales last month. This occurred despite increases in gas prices. The market saw a boost from AI-related stocks, with the Dow up 370 points and the Nasdaq and S&P also showing gains. Growth in US retail sales has slowed, indicating a potential shift in consumer spending patterns. Progress was also noted in trade relations following President Trump's summit with China's Xi. US retail sales increased by half a percent in April, indicating a slowdown in consumer spending. This trend suggests less money available for non-essential purchases, potentially fueled by rising gasoline prices linked to the Iran war.
