In December, retail sales experienced a 2.7 percent decrease from October, a steeper decline than the anticipated 1.9 percent, indicating a reduction in consumer spending leading up to the holiday season.
12月份,零售額比10月份下降了2.7%,下降幅度大於預期的1.9%,這表明假日季前消費者支出有所減少。

This trend suggests that consumers are increasingly shifting their end-of-year purchases to November to take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
這種趨勢表明,越來越多的消費者將年終購買轉移到11月,以利用黑色星期五和網絡星期一的優惠。
Over the course of the year, there was a modest increase in sales, with a 0.8 percent rise observed in the 12 months leading up to December.
在過去的一年中,銷售額略有增長,在截至12月的12個月中增長了0.8%。
