India, July 16 -- Largely reflecting a surge in sales by motor vehicle and parts dealers, the Commerce Department released a report on Thursday showing a modest increase in U.S. retail sales in the month of June.
The Commerce Department said retail sales crept up by 0.2 percent in June after climbing by an upwardly revised 1.0 percent in May.
Economists had expected retail sales to rise by 0.3 percent compared to the 0.9 percent increase originally reported for the previous month.
