Record U.S. monthly drop of 2.8% reported for October, with the weakness seen across all sectors.
Sales slumped 2.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted $363.7 billion, the largest decline since the series began in 1992, the Commerce Department said. This compared with a revised 1.3 percent fall in September, previously reported as a 1.2 percent decrease.
Economists polled by Reuters forecast a 2.0 percent fall in October retail sales as an escalating financial crisis forced consumers into a defensive crouch. Sales excluding autos also notched a record 2.2 percent drop versus a forecast for a 1.2 percent decline.
Meanwhile,
U.S import prices also posted a sharp decrease, recording their biggest one-month drop since 1988 in October as costs for imported oil plunged for the third consecutive month, the Department of Labor said.
Overall import prices declined 4.7 percent after falling by a revised 3.3 percent in September. But for the 12 months through October import prices were still up 6.7 percent.

Petroleum prices tumbled 16.7 percent after falling a revised 10.2 percent the previous month. October's drop in petroleum import prices was the largest since April 2003, the Department said, highlighting the economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere that has depressed demand for oil.
Prices for U.S. exports slipped 1.9 percent in October, declining for the third straight month, after easing a revised 0.8 percent in September. October's fall in export prices was the largest one-month decline since the index was first published in December 1988, the Department of Labor said.

Citigroup announced last month it cut 11,000 jobs in the third quarter, bringing the total number of job cuts in 2008 to 23,000.
Citigroup aims to shrink its workforce to about 290,000 employees by next year from 352,000 as of Sept 30, the WSJ said, citing another person.
The paper also reported that Citigroup is notifying some credit card customers that their interest rates are being raised by an average of three percentage points.
A person familiar with the strategy estimated that the rate increases would apply to less than 20 percent of Citigroup's card portfolio, according to the paper.
A Citigroup spokeswoman told Reuters that she had nothing further to add to the company's comments reported by the Journal.

US-Einzelhandelsumsatz verzeichnet Rekordrückgang
14:47 14.11.08
Washington (aktiencheck.de AG) - Der Einzelhandelsumsatz in den USA hat sich im Oktober 2008 unerwartet deutlich verringert. Dies teilte das US-Handelsministerium am Freitag mit.
Auf Monatssicht schrumpften die Umsatzerlöse um 2,8 Prozent, während sie im September nur um 1,3 Prozent gefallen waren. Hierbei handelt es sich um den stärksten Rückgang seit Aufzeichnungsbeginn. Volkswirte hatten einen Umsatzrückgang um 2,1 Prozent prognostiziert.
Bereinigt um die schwankungsintensiven Umsätze der Automobilbranche fielen die Umsätze gegenüber dem Vormonat um 2,2 Prozent. Auch hierbei handelt es sich um einen Rekordrückgang. Experten waren nur von einer Abnahme um 1,2 Prozent ausgegangen, nach einem Minus von 0,6 Prozent im September.
Der Einzelhandelsumsatz wird als wichtiges Signal für die Konjunkturentwicklung angesehen, da die Verbraucherausgaben etwa zwei Drittel der US-Wirtschaftsaktivitäten ausmachen. Er wird deshalb von der Fed und von Analysten genau beobachtet. (14.11.2008/ac/n/m)
