NAB analysts are forecasting that the Australia’s ABS retail trade for February will grow for a second consecutive month, following a weak Christmas period and a subdued January ABS print (the ABS print for January was 0.1% m/m, NAB forecast -0.3% at the time, revised to 0.5%m/m). Key Quotes “For February our Cashless Retail Sales Index implies growth of 0.3% in the month.
