Summary
In episode 60 of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into a key but often overlooked data point: total business inventories. With inventories hitting over $2.7 trillion in April 2026, they explain how stockpiling signals business confidence and future GDP revisions. Drawing on the latest data, Lucas shows how the inventory-to-sales ratio has crept up from pre-pandemic levels, hinting at potential slowing demand. Luna pushes back on whether inventories are always a lagging indicator, and they debate what the recent 0.5% monthly rise means for Q2 GDP estimates. A concrete look at why warehouse shelves tell us more than headlines do. #BusinessInventories #GDP #MacroData #Economics #SupplyChain #InventoryToSalesRatio #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicIndicators #LucasAndLuna #InventoryCycle #GDPRevision #ConsumerDemand #FederalReserve #2026Economy #WholesaleTrade #DataDriven #MacroEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
