The Zhitong Finance App learned that retail sales in the UK declined in September because consumers reduced food purchases, while higher than year-round temperatures hit demand for fall clothes. The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced on Friday that total online and in-store product sales fell 0.4%, and economists had previously expected a 0.1% decline. The previous month of August was a 0.7% increase after the upgrade.
