Despite a fourth monthly decline in real earnings, the good ol’ American consumer is doing what she does best – consume. Retail sales surged 0.8% MoM (much better than expected) and 5.8% YoY – the best since March 2012.

With online sales (nonstore retailers) dominating – up 2.5% MoM (biggest since July 2015), up 10.4% YoY.
