Boyswear and bedding among the most popular categories for the month
Wal-Mart has predicted growth of between 2 and 4 per cent in US sales for October.

The retailer said its strongest categories were bedding, boyswear, food, health and beauty and pet supplies. Boyswear has been boosted by sales in activewear and graphic T-shirts this month.

The retailer noted that it had increased its estate with five new Sam's Club warehouses, one of which was a relocated store.

Wal-Mart will make a sales update for October on November 4.
