π Growth in retail sales in Australia. Retail sales in Australia grew by 0.6% month-on-month in October, which was significantly higher than experts expected growth of only 0.3%. The increase comes on the back of modest growth in September, when sales rose just 0.1%, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Against the backdrop of such data, there is optimism regarding further economic growth. π submitted by /u/Yuriy_UK |
