Highlights

The ASX retail stocks are likely to suffer significantly amidst the global inflation.

As a result, today's ASX 200 Consumer Staples sector closed in the red territory on Tuesday.

WES, WOW, COL and EDV have been garnering investors' attention on the ASX lately.

The S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples sector was one of the worst-performing sectors on the ASX yesterday. However, the sector has somewhat resurrected today morning and is currently 0.71% up. The S&P/ASX 200 is also up today, gaining 0.85% to 7,156.10.

Yesterday, the loss in the ASX retail stocks’ share prices could be an impact of the global inflation and increased interest rates by RBA.

Philip Lowe, the governor of RBA, mentioned that although Australia is in a much better place than other bigger economies, yet this time the inflation hit worse than expected. Major factors that drove inflation involved COVID-19 induced pandemics, followed by supply chain disruptions.

In this article, we have discussed the performance of four retail giants of the ASX consumer staples sector- Wesfarmers, Woolworths, Coles, and Endeavour.
