Macau retail sales rose 6.2% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, slowing from 16.5% previously, while first-half sales increased 11%. Mexico’s retail sales rose 2.7% year-on-year in June 2026, accelerating from May, although seasonally adjusted monthly sales fell 0.2%. A related record says the Mexican peso reached a two-year high against the U.S. dollar despite weaker-than-expected retail data, supported by Mexico’s interest-rate advantage, remittances, exports and foreign investment. That record gives unspecified placeholders for the date, month and sales figures and conflicts with the detailed June figures, so those claims remain explicitly unresolved.
