Monday, January 28, 10:22 AM The National Retail Federation forecasts 2013 retail sales will increase at a rate of 3.4%, lower than the 4.2% rise seen in 2012. Consumer attitudes will be influenced by higher payroll taxes and the ongoing fiscal cliff drama before improving in the second half of the year, according to the trade group. Retailers with strong online businesses should be able to ride out the moderate growth period adequately with online sales forecast to rise between 9% and 12% for the year. 9 Comments [Consumer]

Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 10:47 AM Auto parts sellers slump after AutoZone's earnings report set a dour tone. Though Advance Auto Parts (AAP -1.5%) and O'Reilly (ORLY -0.9%) trade lower, it's shares of Pep Boys (PBY -12.4%) that are really getting clobbered after the company showed weak results of its own for Q3. The sector isn't getting any help from a mild start to the winter, but underlying service and merchandise sales trends are worrisome. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
