Returns headline retail & food-services sales with month and year trend, the core measure (excluding autos and gasoline — the cleaner underlying-demand read), e-commerce vs restaurant spending, a 13-sector year-over-year breakdown with the strongest and weakest movers, and a plain-English consumer phase (resilient, softening, stalling, or pullback). Use it to read whether the US consumer is accelerating or cooling, gauge discretionary demand and the online-shift, and pair with supply-side (CyclePulse) and macro data.
