NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Retail sales posted the biggest single monthly gain on record in March, the seventh straight month of increases and a signal of rebounding consumer spending.
Sales tracker Thomson Reuters, which looks at monthly same-store sales for 28 chains, said Thursday that March sales increased 9.1% over last year, the biggest monthly gain since it began keeping records in 2000. Thomson had expected only a 6.3% increase.
