The Weekly Retail Sales Index is a weekly compilation of chain store sales based on a sample of major retailers' weekly sales patterns. The weekly index provides a timely window on the monthly store sales performance of the major retailers. This index is seasonally adjusted using a proprietary outlier-adjustment methodology and is intended to provide a companion measure in gauging the strength or weakness of the retail environment.
