With decreases in wholesale and retail inventories more than offsetting an increase in manufacturing inventories, the Commerce Department released a report showing U.S. business inventories unexpectedly edged lower in December. The report said business inventories slipped by 0.2% in December after increasing by 0.1% in November. Economists had expected business inventories to rise by 0.3%. The unexpected dip in business inventories came as wholesale inventories slid by 0.5% in December after edging down by 0.1% in November, and retail inventories fell by 0.4% in December after a 0.1% uptick in November.
On the other hand, the report said manufacturing inventories climbed by 0.4% for the second month. The Commerce Department also said business sales increased by 0.8% in December after rising by 0.6% in November. Wholesale sales jumped by 1.0% during the month, while retail and manufacturing sales climbed by 0.8% and 0.6%, respectively. With inventories falling and sales increasing, the total business inventories/sales ratio dipped to 1.35 in December from 1.37 in November. 02/14/2025 - 10:33:00 (RTTNews)
A report released by the Federal Reserve showed that industrial production in the U.S. increased by more than expected in January. The Fed said industrial production climbed by 0.5% in January after jumping by an upwardly revised 1.0% in December. Economists had expected industrial production to rise by 0.3% compared to the 0.9% advance reported the previous month. The bigger-than-expected increase in industrial production reflected a 7.2% spike in utilities output, as cold temperatures boosted the demand for heating. Meanwhile, the Fed said mining output slumped by 1.2% and manufacturing output edged down by 0.1% amid a 5.2% plunge in motor vehicles and parts production. 02/14/2025 - 09:21:00 (RTTNews)
