Comment: The spotlight is on the U.S. consumer today, with October retail sales data coming out within an hour or two of earnings. Analysts expect a 1.2% rise from September, which would be the biggest monthly rise since March, when the U.S. lifted most of its lockdown restrictions on stores. There’s an implicit tension between that forecast and the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index, which fell to a 10-year low at the start of this month.
