FX.co ★ US Wholesale Inventories Rise Slightly in November

In November 2025, U.S. wholesale inventories experienced a 0.2% increase, reaching a total of $915 billion. This growth rate was consistent with that observed in October, marking the third consecutive month of steady, modest inventory gains. Specifically, stocks of durable goods increased by 0.2%, recovering from a 0.1% decline in the previous month. This uptick was largely driven by notable rises in electrical equipment (up 1.7%), miscellaneous durable goods (up 1.3%), and computer equipment (up 0.9%), which collectively counterbalanced a significant 3.5% decrease in furniture stocks. Additionally, inventories of nondurable goods also saw a 0.2% rise, following a more substantial 0.7% increase in the prior month. Overall, on a year-over-year comparison, wholesale inventories expanded by 1.8% in November.
