U.S. business inventories rise 0.6 percent in August

The Commerce Department announced on Friday that business inventories increased 0.6 percent m-o-m in August, following a revised 0.6 percent m-o-m gain in July (originally a 0.5 percent m-o-m advance).

This was in line with economists’ forecast for a 0.6 percent m-o-m rise and marked the 13th consecutive monthly gain in business inventories.

According to the report, inventories at wholesalers jumped 1.2 percent m-o-m, while those at manufacturers increased 0.6 percent m-o-m and at retailers edged up 0.1 percent m-o-m.

In y-o-y terms, business inventories surged 7.4 percent in August.
