Q1 GDP Double Whammy: Business Inventories Slide, Sales Tumble

Business inventory-to-sales ratio pushes to new deeply recessionary cycle highs at 1.41x…

 

As inventories met expectations of a modest 0.1% drop MoM in February but sales tumbled 0.4%.

 

Auto inventories rose 1.3% – the most since Sept 2015 (but sales were unchanged as opposed to +1.4% in Sept 2015). The breakdown is ugly across the board…

Q1 GDP takes a double whammy as not only did inventories drop (and recent gains were revised lower) but sales tumbled.
