U.S. retail sales set for fifth jump in a row
The U.S. retail sales are anticipated to advance in August for the fifth time amid increasing demand for cars and a moderate fall in gas prices. Based on economists' expectations, American shopping appetite inched up 0.5% last month. The U.S. gasoline prices plummeted 1% per gallon and the average gas price was at $3.57 per gallon in August.
