While the number is not adjusted for inflation (it is, but only for seasonality and holidays) it is still a strong showing. It was also better than the expected rise of 0.4% for the month. Retail sales is a very broad measure of consumer spending, not just what is going on at the shopping malls. What happens on the car lots can make a big difference. That said, excluding autos sales, they were up 0.6% for the month after rising 0.5% in September (revised down from up 0.6%) and are up 7.3% year over year.
