November retail sales just beat forecasts—came in at +0.6% MoM, edging past the expected +0.5%. This upbeat consumer spending signal could reshape expectations around inflation trajectories and Fed policy. Markets are watching closely: stronger retail momentum typically influences both traditional equities and broader risk asset sentiment.

It has gone up again, and if this continues, inflation will just drag on... But on the other hand, do consumers really spend that much money?

Oh no, another rate hike. Buyers are out of money but still stubbornly spending. These numbers really can't be faked.

Wait, you're so excited about just 0.6 percentage points? It looks more like you're just dressing up the numbers. Where is the real purchasing power?

Once again, it's this kind of data exceeding expectations. A 0.1% move can lift the market. Come on.

A difference of just a few tenths of a percentage point can cause such a big stir? The Fed must be so free haha

A difference of just a few tenths of a percentage point can cause a stir. Impressive... When consumer data fluctuates, various funds start speculating about the Fed's next move. This is the game, right?

tbh the +0.6% beat is whatever, but what's actually interesting is whether this filters through the fed's inflation models or if they just pattern-match to their predetermined narrative anyway. like, proof of concept that consumer spending didn't crater? sure. proof that the fed will actually adjust? different beast entirely
