U.S. Commerce Department and Sam Bullard

vehicle sales: We are expecting there to be improvement across the board, said Sam Bullard, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities, according to Market Watch. The U.S. Commerce Department will deliver its report for May retail sales on Thursday. A strong month for vehicle sales in May and better weather should have lifted spending at a variety of stores last month, economists say.

At that meeting, Fed officials will release their latest economic projections. Markets are shining a spotlight on fresh data for spending and jobsas the Fed next meeting, which will be held in mid-June, approaches. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
