Retail Sales (QoQ)

The Retail Sales released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is a survey of goods sold by retailers based on a sampling of retail stores of different types and sizes and it is considered an indicator of the pace of the Australian economy. The quarterly release shows the performance of the retail sector over the mid-term. Positive economic growth anticipates bullish trends for the AUD, while a low reading is seen as negative or bearish.
