【英国7月零售销售下滑，初夏消费热潮消退】英国7月零售销售下降，主要受到非食品商店销售以及非实体零售销售下滑拖累。英国国家统计局指出，7月销售活动走弱，主要是因为“由于促销活动启动时间早于往年，部分需求提前转移至6月”。具体来看，百货商店销售环比下降1.4%，纺织品、服装和鞋类商店销售环比下降2.7%。与此同时，非实体零售销售环比下降3.6%。食品商店销售则表现较好，7月环比增长0.5%。其中，超市以及酒类和饮料零售商受益于“促销活动、高温天气以及世界杯赛事”的推动。此外，燃料销售在7月也出现强劲反弹，环比增长3.8%，此前6月曾下降3.6%。总体来看，尽管经历了几个月的波动，英国零售销售仍保持相对稳健。就目前而言，这份数据对英国央行而言并不是一个令人担忧的信号。当前，通胀仍然是英国央行面临的首要挑战。
