Japan's retail sales rose 3.6% in May compared to a year earlier, the government reported Thursday, extending a trend of slowing growth for the sector.

Large retailers saw their May sales fall 0.9% from the year-earlier month, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry data showed.

Sales growth had been easing during the quarter, with April sales rising a less-than-forecast 5.7% year-on-year, after a 10.3% jump in March.

The Japanese yen weakened slightly after the data release, with the U.S. dollar buying ¥79.70, compared to ¥79.68 just ahead of the announcement.
