Reino Unido Vendas no Varejo (mensal)

UK retail sales volumes inched down 0.1% month-on-month in November 2025, defying market forecasts of a 0.4% rise and following a downwardly revised 0.9% drop in October. This was the second straight month of decline, led by non-store retailers, with online jewelers reporting weaker demand amid stabilizing prices of precious metals. Supermarket sales also fell for the fourth consecutive month, reflecting subdued footfall. These declines were partly offset by a 1% rise in sales of non-food stores. Department stores benefited from extended Black Friday discounting, while footwear and leather goods retailers also posted gains. Additionally, sales of automotive fuel rebounded from October’s fall. On an annual basis, retail sales grew 0.6%, the same pace as in the previous month but missing market expectations of a 0.9% rise. Over the three months to November compared with the three months to August, sales volumes increased 0.6%, and were up 0.7% compared with the same period last year.
