Retail sales are a significant indicator of consumer spending, which drives a large portion of U.S. economic activity. A better-than-expected retail sales report suggests a healthy economy, which generally supports equity markets. As SPY is a broad-based ETF that tracks the S&P 500, it is likely to benefit from the positive sentiment generated by strong retail sales data.
