It's a slight miss on estimates but at least it is a bounce back after the poor showing in July. That being said, the divergence between retail sales volumes and values is continuing in the UK and that is not a good sign:
Looking at the details, fuel sales were down 0.1% on the month with non-store retailing also falling by 0.2% on the month. That is offset by a rise in non-food stores sales (+0.2%) and food store sales (+0.4%).
