The Johnson Redbook Index is a sales-weighted metric that tracks year-over-year same-store sales growth for a sample of large U.S. general merchandise retailers, covering approximately 9,000 stores. Same-store sales refer to sales in stores that have been continuously open for 12 months or longer. The Index, by dollar value, represents over 80% of the equivalent retail sales series officially collected and published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Eulerpool compiles the Index by gathering and interpreting performance estimates from these retailers. The Index and its sub-groups are sales-weighted aggregates of these estimates. Retail weeks, spanning from Sunday to Saturday, are equally weighted within the month.

What is Redbook Index?
The Redbook Index, a highly revered economic indicator, provides insightful data reflecting the health and trends of the retail sector in the United States. Incorporated into our professional website, Eulerpool, this index serves as an indispensable tool for investors, analysts, economists, and other stakeholders seeking to understand the intricate dynamics of the retail market, which in turn can impact broader economic conditions. At its core, the Redbook Index measures the same-store sales growth from a group of large general merchandise retailers. This index is released on a weekly basis every Tuesday, offering a near real-time snapshot of consumer spending—a critical component of economic activity. Unlike many other economic indicators which are released monthly or quarterly, the Redbook Index’s frequency allows it to act as an early gauge for potential shifts and trends in the retail sector. Consumer spending constitutes a significant portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States, and retail sales are a major element of this expenditure. Therefore, the Redbook Index holds substantial analytical value. For instance, an upward trend in the Redbook Index might indicate increased consumer confidence and spending power, potentially signaling economic growth. Conversely, a downward trend may suggest looming economic challenges or shifts in consumer behavior, prompting further investigation and analysis. The data for the index is collected by Redbook Research Inc., a subsidiary of International Business Research (IBR). It encompasses sales data from a representative sample of large retail chains, which include department stores, discount stores, and major retailers. The same-store sales metric is pivotal as it excludes revenue from new stores, focusing solely on the performance of established outlets. This approach allows for a more accurate reflection of underlying economic conditions by eliminating distortions caused by expansions or closures of retail locations. Redbook Index's results are presented as a percentage change from the same week during the previous year. Therefore, it’s important to note that this year-over-year comparison eliminates seasonal variances and short-term fluctuations, providing a more stabilized view of retail performance. Analysts and economists rely on these annual comparisons to draw meaningful conclusions about consumer spending habits and the overall health of the retail sector. Moreover, the Redbook Index serves as a leading indicator for various other economic measures and forecasts. It often precedes and can predict changes in the more comprehensive but less frequent Monthly Retail Trade report from the U.S. Census Bureau. By examining the Redbook Index, market participants can anticipate the outcomes of these more detailed reports, enabling them to make informed decisions ahead of these releases. The invaluable insights provided by the Redbook Index extend beyond the retail sector. Dynamics in retail sales can ripple through the supply chain, affecting sectors as diverse as manufacturing, wholesale trade, logistics, and even advertising. Retailers’ inventory decisions, influenced by sales trends, impact factory orders and production schedules. Logistics companies experience changes in demand for transportation and warehousing services, correlating with retail activity levels. Therefore, tracking the Redbook Index can offer broader economic insights and help stakeholders predict shifts and trends across multiple industries. For investors, timely information provided by the Redbook Index can influence stock market strategies. Retail companies' share prices can be significantly affected by sales trends indicated in the index. Positive sales growth typically leads to higher profits and potential stock price appreciation, while declining sales might foreshadow lower earnings and possible stock depreciation. Therefore, incorporating the Redbook Index into investment models and forecasts can sharpen competitive edges, making it a crucial tool for financial market professionals. From a macroeconomic policy perspective, the Redbook Index is also a critical indicator for central banks and policymakers. Understanding consumer spending patterns and retail sales trends contributes to more informed decisions regarding monetary policy, interest rates, and other economic interventions. Central banks monitoring this index can better ascertain the current state of the economy and potential inflationary pressures, adjusting their strategies to foster economic stability and growth. Eulerpool recognizes the fundamental importance of the Redbook Index within the broader economic landscape. By integrating this index into our comprehensive suite of macroeconomic data, we aim to offer our users precise, timely, and actionable insights. Our platform is designed to deliver this information in a professional and user-friendly manner, ensuring that our clients—whether they are seasoned economists, institutional investors, or policymakers—can efficiently leverage this data for their specific needs.

We strive to support our users in navigating the intricacies of the retail sector and its wider economic implications, thereby enhancing their analytic capabilities and decision-making processes.
