أمريكا: مخزونات الشركات ارتفعت خلال 30 يوماً

A report issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce showed an increase in American companies' inventories during the month of June.

The department stated: "Inventories rose by 0.2%, the same rate that analysts had predicted, following stability in May."

This slight increase in corporate inventories was due to a 0.2% rise in inventories at manufacturing and retail companies, while wholesale trade inventories increased by 0.1%.

At the same time, the Commerce Department's report showed that corporate sales grew by 0.5% in June 2024, after a decline of 0.4% in May.

Retail sales led this increase, rising by 0.9%, while manufacturing sales increased by 0.5%, and wholesale sales rose by 0.3%.

With sales growing at a faster pace than inventory, the inventory-to-sales ratio decreased to 1.38 points, down from 1.39 points in May.

It is worth noting that the U.S. Department of Commerce announced in February that corporate inventories in the United States grew in line with expectations.

The department reported that inventories increased by 0.2% in February after rising by 0.3% in January, according to revised data, which aligned with analysts' predictions.

The slight increase in inventories came against the backdrop of a 0.3% growth in wholesale inventories in February, following a 0.8% rise in the previous month.

Manufacturing inventories also rose by 0.1% after the same increase in the previous month, while retail inventories increased in February after remaining stable in January.

At the same time, the Commerce Department reported that corporate sales rose by 1.2% in February after declining by 0.6% in January 2025.

Wholesale sales increased by 2.4%, while manufacturing sales rose by 0.7%, and retail sales grew by 0.4% in February of this year.
