一 | NEW YORK -- Americans showed their steadfast resilience and kept spending online, at restaurants and other outlets in September even as they grappled with higher prices, rising interest rates and a host of other headwinds piling up.Retail sales rose 0.7% in September, more than twice what economists had expected, and close to a revised 0.8% bump in August, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Retail sales in August were inflated after gasoline prices spiked, however. That was not the case in September when gas prices rose more slowly.A closely watched category of retail sales that excludes auto dealers, gas stations and building materials and feeds into the gross domestic product jumped 0.6% last month compared to the prior month.Tuesday's sales figures aren't adjusted for inflation, but the cost of goods barely rose last month, so the increased spending isn't a reflection of higher prices. Prices for durable goods, such as those sold by appliance and electronics stores, actually fell last month.The government’s monthly retail sales report offers only a partial look at consumer spending; it doesn’t include many services, including health care, travel and hotel lodging. But it does cover spending at restaurants, which had a solid 0.9% increase. Spending online rose 1.1% last month, according to the report. Sales at general merchandise stores rose 0.4%. Sales at home furnishings and furniture stores were flat, while electronics stores and outlets that sell building materials saw declines reflecting a difficult housing market. The retail sales report, which reflects the sixth consecutive monthly gain, reinforces the fact that American consumers, as a whole, are showing no signs of pulling back on their spending, which powers most of the economy. That spending comes despite attempts by the Federal Reserve to cool spending and hiring. That's good news heading into the critical holiday shopping season. But the robust sales report also means that the Fed officials could leave the door open for additional rate hikes. That means that shoppers could face higher interest rates for awhile.“If the cost-of-living crisis has hit consumer confidence, you wouldn’t know it judging by a second month of strong retail sales with the consumer buying everything that wasn’t nailed down,” said Christopher S. Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS LLC, a financial markets research company. “Fed officials have another rate hike this year up on their forecast board, and they will need to use it, if the economic data continues to surprise economists on the upside.” Still, questions remain whether shoppers will finally buckle under more bad news piling up from federal budget wrangling, the resumption of student loan repayments, and new global tensions tied to the Oct. 7 surprise attack by Hamas in Israel. The moratorium on student loan payments lifted Oct. 1. Analysts say that shoppers could also become rattled if the Israel-Hamas war is not contained.Moreover, the relentless spending by shoppers also comes at a cost to their household finances.“We have repeatedly under-estimated the U.S. consumer, “ said Tim Quinlan, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Economics. ”But in pulling off this spending spree, consumers have dented their household finances, a theme that is evident not only in the diminished savings, but also the trend rise in credit card delinquencies.”Healthy consumer spending is expected to lift the economy's growth rate to about 3.5% or possibly even higher in the July-September quarter. September's strong sales also suggests the economy may not slow as much in the final three months of the year as previously expected, analysts said. The retail sales report came as businesses across the U.S. economy ramped up hiring in September, defying surging interest rates, and the ongoing threat of a government shutdown. The strength of hiring has surprised economists inside and outside of the Fed. Consumer prices rose 0.4% from August to September, below the previous month’s 0.6% pace. The report from the Labor Department also showed that year-over-year inflation was flat last month from a 3.7% rise in August.Meanwhile, retailers are pulling out discounts and other incentives to get shoppers to open their wallets for the holiday season as they worry about shoppers' finances. Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics retailer, unveiled a new experience that gives shoppers a chance to access some of the biggest deals and cool gadgets of the holiday season. The items, which kicked off late last month, are only available in limited quantities and exclusively through the Best Buy app. ——————AP Economics Writer Christopher Rugaber contributed to this report from Washington.——————Follow Anne D’Innocenzio: http://twitter.com/ADInnocenzio。 2026年科隆游戏展开幕夜直播（Opening Night Live）将于北京时间 8 月 26 日凌晨 2 点正式拉开帷幕。我们汇总了目前已确认参展的游戏名单，涵盖了从3A大作、知名重制版到热门独立游戏的豪华阵容。 目前已确认出展的作品阵容极其庞大：知名重磅续作与大作：《战争机器：事变日》（Gears of War: E-Day）《神鬼寓言》（Fable）《极限竞速：地平线 6》（Forza Horizon 6）《使命召唤：现代战争 4》（Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4）《光环：战役进化》（Halo: Campaign Evolved）《地铁 2039》（Metro 2039）《异形：隔离 2》（Alien: Isolation 2）《鬼武者：剑之道》（Onimusha: Way of the Sword）《龙之信条 2：黑暗觉者》（Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen）《皇牌空战 8：希浮之翼》（ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE）《龙珠：超宇宙3》（DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3）《控制：共振》（Control Resonant）等。经典拓展与重制作品：《巫师3：狂猎 — 旧时曲》（The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Songs of the Past）《古墓丽影 亚特兰蒂斯遗迹》（TOMB RAIDER: LEGACY OF ATLANTIS）《最终幻想7：启示》（Final Fantasy VII Revelation）《怪物猎人：旅人》（Monster Hunter Outlanders）《女神异闻录 4重制版》（Persona 4 Revival）《洛克人：双重过载》（Mega Man: Dual Override）《雷曼：传奇重述》（Rayman Legends Retold）等。
