Eurozone June retail sales +0.3% vs +0.4% m/m expected

• Latest data released by Eurostat - 6 August 2025

• Prior -0.7%; revised to -0.3%

The reading is a marginal miss on estimates and even less impressive after the more positive revision to May. Looking at the breakdown, volume of retail trade increased across the board with rises for food, drinks, tobacco (+0.2%), non-food products (+0.6%), and automotive fuel in specialised stores (+0.4%). In any case, all of this is June data so it's not all too relevant at this stage.
