The better-than-expected retail sales bodes well for GDP. Overall, consumer spending remains healthy because people have jobs.

Have a like thanks for the report.

Internal inflation numbers are softened excluding energy.

I doubt the FED hikes in an election year. No need anyway.

Consumer-led inflation is not much of a problem.
