Retail sales increased 1.0% after a downwardly revised 0.2% drop in June, easing fears of a sharp economic slowdown blown by a jump in the unemployment rate last week. A separate reading also showed the number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits fell unexpectedly last week.
