16.07.202614:00:00UTC+00U.S. Retail Inventories ex-Autos Slow in May, Signaling Softer Stock Building by Merchants

Retail inventories excluding autos in the United States rose at a slower pace in May, easing to 0.3% from a previously reported 0.6% in the same month, according to data updated on 16 July 2026. The moderation suggests retailers have become more cautious about building up stock, potentially in response to evolving demand conditions or efforts to manage carrying costs more tightly.

While inventories continue to expand, the halving of the pace from 0.6% to 0.3% points to a shift away from more aggressive restocking. For businesses and investors, the softer increase may indicate that retailers expect more balanced sales ahead, reducing the risk of overhang in non-auto goods. This trend in inventory management could have implications for supply chains and near-term production decisions across the broader U.S. economy.
