Retail sales reports show the growth (or decline) of the US retail sector sales during a given month and are an important fundamental indicator. The retail sales are reported near the middle of the month by the US Census Bureau. A faster growth of retail sales gives a positive signal on the US currency. A slower increase (or even a drop) in the sales is a signal, which often leads to depreciation of the US dollar against other currencies. You can browse the posts listed here to find the reported values of the US retail sales since 2007.
