$SPY Consumers are flexing their spending muscle again,” said Gina Bolvin, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Group, in emailed comments. After May’s slump, June’s uptick in retail sales suggests “the American shopper is alive and well — and that matters for markets.”

Retail sales increased XXX% in June from the previous month, according to a Thursday report from the Census Bureau. Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had expected a XXX% increase following a XXX% decline in May.

The fresh data — along with consumer and wholesale inflation data earlier this week — sooth concerns that President Trump’s tariff fight will trigger an inflation resurgence and dent consumer spending.

“The death of the consumer has been greatly exaggerated,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management.
