美国3月份零售销售额预计增长1.4%,剔除汽车销售后也增长1.4%,汽油销售激增以外的其他零售销售额预计将有所疲软。

-- 据彭博社汇总的一项调查显示,美国3月份零售销售额预计将增长1.4%,远高于上月0.6%的增幅,其中伊朗冲突导致汽油价格飙升是主要因素。 3月份汽车行业销量有所增长,新车价格小幅上涨0.1%,但二手车价格在月度消费者价格报告中下跌0.4%,因此预计本周发布的报告中汽车及零部件价格将保持不变。 数据将于美国东部时间周二上午8:30发布。 除汽车以外的其他商品销售额预计也将增长1.4%,此前2月份增长0.5%,其中加油站销售额预计将在2月份增长0.9%后进一步飙升。汽油价格在3月份飙升21.2%,此前一个月上涨0.8%。 然而,若剔除汽车销售和汽油销售,预计销售额仅增长0.2%,低于2月份0.4%的增幅,这表明销售活动整体疲软。 若剔除汽车、建材、加油站和餐饮服务类别,所谓的“对照组”销售额预计也将增长0.2%,而2月份的增幅为0.4%。
