While January numbers were ordsprog

While January numbers were good and encouraging, I don't think we want to read too much into them in terms of the rest of the year. There is still a lot of negative economic news out there. I think that's reflected in the retailers' forecast for sales growth in 2006.

The morbidity of non-OPEC supply is… [a factor that is] fuelling the rise in prices. Russian output growth has decelerated...with the year on year growth in output for July a sharp downshift from the...growth rate achieved in July 2004. The IEA sees Russian supply rebounding strongly in the rest of the year and into 2006. [Their] forecast is for Russian output to grow by 390,000 bpd in 2006, a very good recovery from the growth seen in the most recent monthly Russian output data. In all, the IEA view seems somewhat optimistic...

This is an impressive like-for-like figure and encouraging news for retailers in the capital, especially considering the severe and very worrying drop in sales seen in July through to October last year.

The good news is that sales for January seem to be right on track with our previous forecast of 4 percent -- not enough to make up for the holiday shortfall, but a good sign nonetheless,

The good news continue to be the fact that with growth in its Hollister division, a fast-growing Internet business, a new concept coming in the third quarter and flattish comps (sales compared to last year) in the core adult business, healthy top-line growth should be sustainable. Also, Abercrombie's men's business is finally beginning to show some life after three years of negative comparable sales.

Overall, I think what it shows is the fourth quarter, despite good profit numbers, in terms of overall economic growth was not a very strong finish to the year.

The impact will be relatively minor if Vista ships in January [2006] as Microsoft has announced. Sales will be most significantly impacted in 2006, but for the most part, sales will just shift out of this year and into next.

It's a busy week in terms if earnings with three sectors of the technology sector reporting. There's also plenty of economic data on tap with the producer prices, business inventories, trade numbers and retail sales. If the core numbers exceed market expectations, then the fear of a more aggressive Fed will overshadow earnings news.

We're finding some footing, but the problem is, the job [numbers are] lagging. Even if we get [economic] growth, we're still going to see job losses. We're really at a very critical moment where we kind of have to start seeing a little bit of good news or the bad news starts piling up.

Data releases for the closing months of 2005 are expected to reflect buoyant activity, especially as we tally up retailers' Christmas sales. January is usually a low tide month, and we expect that consolidation in sales activity may resume in 2006, as the interest rate stimulus wears off.

His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure. The background has been encouraging so I don't think it's just a Christmas rally to expire completely in January. We've seen good confidence numbers from the U.S. and Germany, stronger growth, inflation well contained. The oil price is admittedly sticking a bit around $60 but it isn't going up anymore.

Since it's a quiet day in economic news, I think retail sales numbers are the big story out there today, and they seem to be a little disappointing, especially clothing store sales.

We have sat down and done the figures, and the result is that there has been an increase of just under 10-per-cent on last year's sales. We're not up in purely money terms, just on ticket sales, but it's good news for the club.

This report was very encouraging. It gives us stronger employment growth than the market was expecting while none of negative side effects of economic growth are present, such as higher inflationary pressure from wages.

Today's results were good in a couple of terms. They showed very strong growth in user numbers and a very strong growth in gross sales.
