Tepid July retail data temper US growth outlook
US retail sales slipped in July as consumers pulled back on shopping and dining, though auto, online, and catalog sales rose. Prime Day by Amazon boosted online spending 1.3 percent, while producer prices fell 0.4 percent. Analysts foresee slower Fed action with growth around 1 percent in H1 2016 and a potential near 3 percent in Q3, amid robust hiring and cooling inflation.
