The latest retailing sector turnover data to be issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics are forecast to show an increase in seasonally adjusted terms of 0.3% for June 2014. While this would be an improvement from a 0.5% fall in May, investors are still likely to take a negative view on such stocks as many groups report slower earnings growth. Some listed retailers have already issued profit warnings, due in large part to warm winter weather. The first major retailer to report will be JB Hi-Fi on 11 August
