Retail sales

Retail sales is one of the most important economic reports going, a monthly measure of how much consumers are spending in shops, online, and everywhere in between. Because consumer spending drives the bulk of a modern economy, the figure is a direct read on its health and the confidence of ordinary households.

A strong number can signal a humming economy; a weak one raises fears of a slowdown, which is why the release routinely moves markets.

Example: The US retail sales report comes in far stronger than expected, showing consumers spending freely despite higher prices. Traders react at once: robust spending points to a resilient economy, but it can also mean the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates high to cool demand, so the dollar and bond yields may jump on a hot number, while a weak reading can spark bets on rate cuts and send them the other way, all within minutes of the data landing.

Retail trader

A retail trader is an ordinary individual trading their own personal money, the opposite of the professionals who trade institutional funds, and this heading overlaps with the retail investor entry on the sheet. Retail traders operate through brokerage apps and online platforms, in modest size, and cover everyone from casual dabblers to full-time individuals

Once dismissed as the market’s least sophisticated money, they have grown into a genuine force.

Example: A retail trader at her kitchen table, armed with a laptop and a brokerage app, now has access to charts, data, and execution that would have been the preserve of professionals a generation ago. The 2021 meme-stock saga showed how powerful this crowd can be when it coordinates, with retail traders banding together online to drive certain shares to extremes and bloody the noses of professional funds, proof that the retail trader is no longer the pushover the industry once assumed.

Retaliatory Tariffs

Retaliatory tariffs are the counterpunch in a trade war, taxes one country slaps on another’s goods in direct response to tariffs imposed on its own exports. The basic idea is that one country responds to tariffs imposed by another: goods that may have particular economic or political significance may be targeted to increase pressure on the country imposing the original tariffs.

The danger is escalation, as each round of retaliation invites another, and the resulting spiral raises prices and disrupts trade for everyone caught in it.

Example: When one country imposes heavy tariffs on imported steel, the affected trading partner strikes back with retaliatory tariffs on the first country’s farm products, deliberately targeting politically sensitive exports like soybeans or whiskey to pressure lawmakers. Neither side necessarily wins: consumers on both sides may pay more, exporters may lose markets, and the tit-for-tat can drag on for years, which is why economists warn that retaliatory tariffs can leave both economies worse off than before the fight began.

Retracement

A temporary reversal in the direction of a product’s price movement within a larger trend.

Return

The overall gains from an investment.

Return on equity (ROE)

A financial ratio that evaluates the profitability of a company based on the equity invested in it.
