July Retail Sales Preview - Business Insider

Today we get retail sales.

Last month saw a sequential contraction of 0.5%. For July, analysts are expecting a modest 0.2% increase.

Here's a chart of sequential changes going back to the beginning of 2007.

It's hard not to worry about the big general trend heading down these days.
