November 2017 Us business inventories data 12 January 2018
- Prior -0.1%
- Sales 1.2% vs 0.8% prior.
- Inventory/sales ratio 1.33m vs 1.34m prior
- Retail sales inventories ex-autos was unrevised at 0.2%
Much like the wholesale sales/inventory report earlier this week, we see another jump in sales. In this case it comes with a higher inventory count, which is no bad thing if sales are good. The ratio shows further tightening. Problems arise when inventories rise because stock isn’t shifting.
