In June 2025, U.S. business inventories experienced a modest increase of 0.2% compared to the previous month, improving from a stagnant performance in May and aligning with market predictions. This growth was primarily driven by a 0.1% recovery in wholesale inventories, which had seen a 0.3% decline in May, and a 0.2% increase in manufacturing inventories, slightly up from May's 0.1% rise. Retail inventories also rose by 0.2%, maintaining the same pace as recorded in May. Annually, overall business inventories showed a 1.6% increase.
