Q2 GDP To Suffer As Retail, Wholesale Inventories Tumble In April

Retail and Wholesales Inventories in April dropped 0.3% MoM - dramatically missing expectations of a 0.2% rise (no economists at all expected a drop in inventories).

Retail Weak...

And Wholesale weak...

The biggest driver of the drop was a 0.5% MoM drop in Motor Vehicle inventories.

This does not bode well for Q2 GDP...
