July retail sales decreased by 0.1%, less than the expected +0.4% and a fall from the previously recorded figure of +0.7%. The figures are notoriously volatile from month-to-month (see chart) but it’s the first negative figure since May 2014. AMP’s Shane Oliver thought a negative figure not unusual but he would be concerned if there were not a bounce in the August figure.
