Latest data released by Istat - 6 July 2018
- Prior -0.7%; revised to -0.6%
- Retail sales +0.4% vs -4.6% y/y prior
Slight delay in the release by the source. A decent recovery in consumption patterns after the abysmal figures seen in April. A minor data point though, not one that matters all too much given the backdrop of the market today - trade rhetoric and US jobs report focus.
