ASOS sales weaken in August on inflationary concerns

ASOS shares gained 1.6% to 689.5p in early morning trading on Friday, after the fashion group reported trading in line with management expectations in its pre-close trading update.

However, the business confirmed weaker than expected sales in August following strong growth across June and July due to the cost of living crisis and inflationary concerns.
