U.S. February Retail Sales Growth Below Expectations, Uncertainty Leads to Low Consumer Confidence

14 hours ago

March 17th: In the United States, retail sales in February witnessed a monthly increase; however, it fell short of expectations. The January sales decline was revised from 0.9% to 1.2% on a month-on-month basis. The report indicates that among 13 categories, only 5 categories experienced an increase in sales in February compared to January. These categories include non-store retailers (representing e-commerce), general merchandise, health and personal care, food and beverages, and building materials. These types of categories are generally essential goods rather than non-essential ones. Hence, the growth in these areas implies that consumers were cautious with their spending last month. Retailers have issued warnings that due to cold weather, tax refund delays, and the increasing uncertainty of consumers regarding the economy, February began on a weak note. Since January of this year, consumer confidence has been on a downward trend for three consecutive months as Americans strive to deal with the constantly changing policies of the Trump administration, such as intermittent tariffs and widespread layoffs in the federal government.

Analyst: Bitcoin Price Likely to Bottom Out in a Few Weeks, Rebound to New High Later This Year

On March 18th, David Duong, the Director of Institutional Research at Coinbase, stated that the market generally anticipates that the Federal Reserve will maintain the interest rate unchanged at this week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. However, investors should pay attention to any potential changes to the Fed's balance sheet reduction (that is, quantitative tightening, QT) plan. In his report on Monday, he wrote, "We think that the Fed may pause or end its quantitative tightening plan because the reserve levels at banks have reached nearly 10-11% of the US GDP, a level generally regarded as sufficient to maintain financial stability." He pointed out that the recent selloff of cryptocurrencies was mainly due to macroeconomic concerns and the deterioration of liquidity conditions. But these factors may improve in the next quarter, providing support for asset prices. "Cryptocurrency prices may reach a bottom in the coming weeks and then rebound to new highs later this year,"
