Retail sales slowed in May as consumers faced continuing inflation and higher prices for essentials like food and gasoline, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF).

April retail sales as calculated by NRF were up 0.9 percent seasonally adjusted from March and 6.4 percent year over year.

Consumer spending this Father’s Day is expected to total $20 billion, nearly on par with last year’s record-setting figure of $20.1 billion.

The National Retail Federation’s annual loss prevention, digital fraud, and cyber risk conference, NRF PROTECT, will be held in-person in Cleveland June 21-23 after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19.

The unique setting of the Town Hall Meeting provided an opportunity for LP and AP leaders and solution partners to discuss current topics in the industry.

Consumers accustomed to inflation continued to spend in April as retail sales overcame higher prices to show both monthly and year-over-year increases.
