Redbook is a weekly read on same-store sales at the big general merchandisers, quoted as a year over year rate. Nothing else on the American consumer comes out this often. It lands a day ahead of most of the other weekly data and a month ahead of official retail sales. A slide that keeps going is an early warning that consumer spending is cooling.

How it moves Treasuries
A Redbook trend that keeps softening leans bullish Treasuries, because that is the consumer slowing down. Any single week is noise. Traders watch the drift across several weeks. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
