US November retail sales data may briefly affect US dollar trend

The retail sales data for November in the United States will be released tonight (UTC+8) due to delays caused by the government shutdown. The market expects sales to increase by 0.4% in November, compared to 0% in October. Institutions believe that although retail sales reports are important indicators of consumer spending and demand, delayed release reduces their potential impact on the US dollar. If the actual data differs significantly from expectations, it may affect the short-term trend of the US dollar, lower than expectations or pressure the US dollar, higher than expectations or boost the US dollar.
