Currys PLC (LSE:CURY), Tesco PLC (LSE:TSCO) and Kingfisher PLC (LSE:KGF) were among the retailers tipped to benefit from signs that UK consumer spending strengthened in June, while Primark owner Associated British Foods PLC (LSE:ABF) could be one of the main loser as shoppers increasingly bought online. Analysts at Citi said industry data from the British Retail Consortium and Barclaycard pointed to a sequential improvement in retail sales, driven by stronger demand for non-food products.
