quote:NEW YORK (Reuters) - Retail sales fell at the fastest pace in at least five years and could tip an already fragile economy into recession, according to a private report released on Wednesday.
Retail sales tumbled 1.1 percent last month, compared with a 0.2 percent gain in January, said SpendingPulse, the retail data service of MasterCard Advisors, an arm of MasterCard Worldwide (MA.N: Quote, Profile, Research). The report excludes auto sales.
"It's definitely the biggest drop in our history," said Kamalesh Rao, director of economic research at MasterCard Advisors. SpendingPulse's retail data series started in 2003.
The drop in retail sales may be a signal that consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, has finally buckled under the weight of a housing bust, a weakening job market and soaring food and energy prices.

Binnenkort plannen van de FED om 't onverhandelbare papier te nationaliseren via bijvoorbeeld Fannie en Freddie?quote:MasterCard SpendingPulse(TM) is a macroeconomic indicator that reports on consumer spending in a variety of categories -- from gasoline to apparel -- in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The reports are based on aggregate sales activity in the MasterCard payments network coupled with estimates for all other payment forms, including cash and check.
Launched in the United States in March 2006, SpendingPulse has become one of the most frequently cited measures of the U.S. retail economy. The reports do not reflect MasterCard financial performance.
