U.S. Economy: Sales Rise More Than Forecast, Driving Growth

Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Retail sales rose more than projected in October as American shoppers gave the economy a boost at the start of the fourth quarter.

The 0.5 percent gain, helped by the biggest jump in electronics purchases in two years, followed a 1.1 percent increase for September, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 81 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a rise of 0.3 percent.

"Another recession is pretty unlikely," said Samuel Coffin, an economist at UBS Securities in Stamford, Connecticut, who correctly predicted the gain in retail sales. The report "suggests a very strong start to the quarter. We'll continue expanding at a better pace."
