Retail Sales Surge in March while Housing Starts and Manufacturing Face Soft Results

Among economic news last week:

  • U.S. retail and food service sales had a sudden spike in March, according to the commerce department, climbing 1.6% during the month to $514 billion. Year-over-year, sales had improved 3.6%, and March’s change is much improved from the month before, when sales had fallen 0.2%. A bustling job market is likely encouraging U.S. consumers to spend more on discretionary items, such as automobiles. Excluding food and gas, the core retail sales climbed 0.9% in the month.

  • According to the Census Bureau’s monthly report, housing starts fell markedly, dropping to an annual rate of 1,139,000. That represents a 0.3% decrease from February and 14.2% less starts than the same month in 2018. Land and labor shortages, along with expensive building materials, are limiting builders’ capacity for new home construction. In the coming months, reduced mortgage rates resulting from the Fed’s latest policy decision may help boost sales. It should also be noted that monthly reports for housing starts are subject to wide revisions and swings from month to month.
​
  • Following two straight months of decline, U.S. manufacturing output remained unchanged in March, leading to the first quarter of falling production since President Trump took office. According to a Federal Reserve report released last week, the weakness in manufacturing output may be associated with a moderation of the broader economy. The effects of the tax cut stimulus package are weakening and a trade war with China continues to disrupt supply chains across the manufacturing sector.
