New York City, New York -- (May 23, 2013)

U.S. retail sales rose unexpectedly in April, according to data released by the Commerce Department earlier this month. The retail sales data highlights the fact that an improvement in the U.S. labor market has boosted consumer confidence. With the recovery in the labor market expected to continue, consumer spending is likely to remain robust. This should benefit apparel clothing companies such as Quiksilver Inc. (NYSE: ZQK), Hanesbrands Inc. (NYSE: HBI), PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH), American Apparel Inc. (AMEX: APP), and Ralph Lauren Corp. (NYSE: RL). On Wednesday, May 22, 2013, shares in apparel clothing companies ended mostly lower, tracking losses in the broad market, which tumbled after the release of minutes of Federal Reserve’s most recent FOMC.
