June 17 - The monthly rate of U.S. May retail sales is scheduled to be released this evening at 8:30 PM EST. The previous reading was 0.1%, and the expectation is -0.7%. Konstantinos Chrysikos, the customer relationship manager of Kudotrade, believes that if the decline in U.S. retail sales data exceeds expectations, it could enhance the bets on a rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

A survey from The Wall Street Journal indicates that U.S. May retail sales are expected to decrease by 0.6% month-on-month compared to the previous increase of 0.1%. (Jin10)
