US wholesale inventories were estimated to have risen 0.7% month-over-month to $965.7 billion in August 2026, following a 1.3% increase in July. The increase would mark the seventh consecutive month of growth, driven by a 0.7% rise in durable goods inventories and a 0.5% increase in non-durable goods stocks. Year-on-year, advance estimates point to a 6.6% increase in wholesale inventories.
