USA Business Inventories Rebound in July Amid Economic Recovery Signs

U.S. business inventories saw a slight rebound in July, following a month of stability in June, according to data released by the Commerce Department. Business inventories increased by 0.2%, which was just below the forecasted 0.3% rise anticipated by economists. This modest growth reflects ongoing adjustments within the broader economic landscape.

The increase in inventories was largely influenced by a 1% rise in automotive inventories, showing strength in the auto industry. Additionally, computer equipment inventories grew by 1.4%, indicating a positive trend in the tech sector. These gains contributed to the overall rise in business inventories, signaling gradual improvement in certain key industries.

Business sales also showed a solid increase, rising by 1.1% in July. At this pace, it is estimated that it would take approximately 1.35 months to clear the current inventory levels. This marks a slight improvement compared to the same period last year, when it took around 1.38 months to clear inventories. The latest data underscores a steady but cautious recovery in U.S. business inventories as sectors like automotive and technology show signs of growth, helping to shape a more balanced inventory-to-sales ratio.
