Manufacturing Inventories Aren't Rising
What inventory build? The consistent mantra of the GDP rally in Q1 and over the last 3-4 quarter has been that inventories were being rebuilt. Now maybe a smaller decline in inventories helped GDP, the reality is that inventories have not seen but one major inventory increase in the last 2 years.
Any number over 50 shows an actual increase in inventories. A lot of the focus has actually been on a higher number then the prior month such as a 45 versus a 39.
