Retail sales rise more than expected in June

Economists had forecast sales would rise 0.9% over the prior month in June after a 0.3% jump in May. Sales in May were revised down, however, to show a 0.1% drop in sales.

By category, retail sales rose the most at gasoline stations amid a surge in the price of gas last month, which topped $5 a barrel nationwide for the first time in mid-June. As of Thursday, the price of gas had declined in the U.S. for 30 straight days.

Excluding gas station sales, retail sales rose 0.7% in June.
