U.K. retail sales declined 0.1% in October

LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.K. retail sales fell 0.1% in October compared to the previous month, according to data released by the Office of National Statistics Thursday. The drop was smaller than the 0.9% decline expected by economists. Sales in the month were up 1.9% compared to a year earlier. Compared to September, the Office of National Statistics said higher sales in predominantly food stores helped offset a decline for non-food stores.
