Retail Sales Surge 0.7 Percent in July but Autos Decline 0.3 Percent

Meanwhile I am wondering about autos. Yesterday, I noted Retail Sales Surge 0.7 Percent in July but Autos Decline 0.3 Percent

Auto sales declined 0.3 percent but production is up 5.17 percent. That assumes no revisions which might be a big stretch.

Speaking of revisions, please see Housing Starts Rise 3.9 Percent in July from Still More Negative Revisions
