NEW YORK/LONDON July 16 (Reuters) - World stock indexes mostly rose and the U.S. dollar strengthened on Tuesdayafter solid U.S. retail sales signalledresilience in the economy.
Data released on Tuesday showed retail sales unchanged in June from a May reading that was higher than initially estimated.

The MSCI All-World index .MIWD00000PUS rose 1.12 points, or 0.14%, to 829.85.
"There are signs of softness around the edges where low and moderate income consumers are pulling back ... but openhanded spending by affluent consumers is keeping the economy as a whole moving forward," said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Monday that recent inflation data bolstered policymakers' confidence that price pressures are on a sustainable path lower.
Investors also were still pondering the implications of a possible Donald Trump victory in the upcoming presidential election following the attemptedassassination on Trump onSaturday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 592.93 points, or 1.47%, to 40,804.65, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 28.01 points, or 0.50%, to 5,659.23 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 27.23 points, or 0.15%, to 18,499.80.

A CLOSE RACE
Trump, a Republican,nominated J.D. Vance on Monday as his vice presidential running mate.
Opinion polls show a close race between Trump and President Joe Biden, though Trump leads in several states that are likely to decide the November election.
"He's already the favourite, by some margin, so he’s becoming even more of a favourite," said Colin Asher, economist a Mizuho, said.
XTB research director Kathleen Brooks said,"TheTrump trade is buy American stocks and ditch everything else..."
The dollar index =USD, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, gained 0.16% to 104.41, with the euro EUR= down 0.14% at $1.0879. Against the Japanese yen JPY=, the dollar strengthened 0.37% to 158.6.

Japanese officials also madefresh warnings of possible measures.
Data on Tuesday showed the Bank of Japan likely intervened a second time on July 12 to the tune of 2.14 trillion yen ($13.50 billion) to support the currency. This follows some $22.43 billion the central bank may have spent on intervention the previous day, according to last Friday's data.
