U.S. wholesale trade sales showed a marked rebound in November 2025, rising 1.3% month-over-month, according to data updated on 29 January 2026. The improvement follows a 0.4% month-over-month decline in October 2025, signaling a turnaround in wholesale sector activity heading into the end of the year.
The figures are based on a month-over-month comparison, with the current 1.3% reading reflecting the change in November relative to October, while the previous -0.4% figure captured the change in October compared with September. The swing from negative to positive growth suggests a recovery in wholesale demand after a brief pullback, and will be closely watched by analysts as a gauge of underlying momentum in the broader U.S. economy.
