April 2017 UK CBI distributive trade sales report 27 April 2017

  • Prior 9

  • Total sales 44 vs 30 exp. Prior 32

That's a strong bounce in the retail sector. That potentially bodes well for April's retail sales, though I suspect we'll have some weather related shenanigans to deal with as we had a particularly warm period during April, as well as the Easter break. The expectations aren't as hot looking as the activity numbers.
