U.S. business inventories increase 0.3 percent in August

The Commerce Department announced on Friday that business inventories rose 0.3 percent m-o-m in August, following an unrevised 0.1 percent m-o-m advance in July.

That was slightly below economists’ forecast for a 0.4 percent m-o-m increase.

According to the report, stocks at retailers and wholesalers both rose by 0.4 percent m-o-m, while inventories at manufacturers were flat m-o-m.
