Measures the monthly change in the total value of goods held in inventory by wholesalers in the United States. It is a critical component of GDP calculation, as changes in inventory levels can signal shifts in consumer demand or production imbalances. An unexpected increase might suggest slowing sales, while a decrease could indicate demand is outpacing supply.
Data is collected through the Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey (MWTS) from a sample of merchant wholesale firms. The figures are seasonally adjusted to account for predictable calendar patterns but are not adjusted for price changes.
