US wholesale inventories advanced by 1.4% month-over-month to $932.8 billion in March 2026, following an upwardly revised 0.9% increase in February and overshooting market forecasts for a 0.4% rise. This marked the second consecutive monthly increase in wholesale inventories and the strongest since June 2022, prompted by a surge in stocks of non-durable goods (3.2% vs 1% in February). On the other hand, durable goods inventory growth slowed to 0.3% from 0.9%. On a yearly basis, wholesale inventories rose 2.9% in March.
