On a yearly basis, sales were also up 1.1 percent - missing expectations for a 1.0 percent gain following the 0.4 percent increase in the previous month.

Large scale retail sales were down 1.1 percent on month and up 3.0 percent on year after slipping 1.6 percent on month and rising 2.0 percent on year a month earlier.
