Retail sales sluggish month before Christmas
The Commerce Department reports a 0.2 percent rise in November retail sales to $213.8 billion, below the 0.5 percent gain forecast, as cautious consumer spending tempers holiday expectations. Unemployment claims fell to 311,000, while analysts warn about debt and Asia crisis risks. The Dow edged lower as markets fret over international rescue prospects, though NRF remains optimistic about holiday demand.
