Title: U.S. Retail Sales Gain Momentum #

U.S. retail sales showed strong growth in the last quarter, signaling a rebound in consumer spending. The increase was driven by a boost in sales of clothing, electronics, and furniture. Despite supply chain disruptions and rising prices, consumer demand remained robust. E-commerce sales also saw a significant jump, reflecting the continued shift towards online shopping. Economists are optimistic about the upward trend in retail sales, but caution that future growth may be influenced by factors like inflation, labor market conditions, and the evolution of the pandemic.
