📍 Where it landed
{ "epilogue": "U.S. retail sales fell unexpectedly in July, marking the largest drop in more than a year as fading government tax refunds, inflation, and squeezed wages affected shoppers. The decline caused the dollar to slide to a May low and impacted interest rate expectations.
Subsequently, the story quieted without a definitive conclusion in the coverage." }
