(Reuters) - Starbucks on Tuesday reported a surprise decline in second-quarter comparable sales, as it grapples with weak demand for its coffees from inflation-weary consumers in the United States.

The coffee chain's second-quarter global comparable sales fell 4%, compared with a 1.44% rise expected on average by analysts, according to LSEG data.
