FX.co ★ U.S. Redbook Index Shows Stronger YoY Retail Momentum in June

The latest U.S. Redbook index data, updated on 16 June 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in retail sales growth on a year-over-year basis. The current reading stands at 9.4% compared with the same month a year ago, edging up from the previous 9.1% annual increase.

The Redbook index tracks same-store sales at large U.S. retailers, and the year-over-year comparison highlights how current spending stacks up against last year’s levels. With the latest figure slightly above the prior month’s 9.1% gain, the data suggest that consumer spending at major chains has continued to firm, reinforcing a picture of resilient retail activity heading into mid-2026.
