US retail sales rose just as expected.

Retail sales rose by 0.1% month-over-month in February, as economists had forecast according to Bloomberg.

Core retail sales, which do not include gas and auto sales, rose by 0.2% month-over-month, again as economists were expecting.

But notably, January's core retail sales were upwardly revised to a 1.2% increase, up from the prior reading of 0.8%.

Last month, retail sales jumped by 0.4%, above expectations of 0.1%.
