Retail sales come in stronger than expected.

Market News

03.13.13

Top Day Recommendations

Retail sales come in stronger than expected. This has put immediate, massive pressure on the bond market and will be enough to push values back down to Friday’s lows. 1.1% versus 0.6% expected. Many had thought that retail sales would contract with the increase in sales tax. Instead, this is the best retail sales number in 5 months.

Crude inventories out 10:30.
