ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the U.S. Department of Commerce released data on Tuesday showing that retail sales in August increased by 0.6% compared to July. Among them, sales of clothing and accessories increased by 1%, while sales from sporting goods, bookstores, and musical instrument retailers rose by 0.8%. In August, the inflation level in the U.S. rose to its highest point since the beginning of this year, with prices for essential goods such as food and housing increasing.
