with today’s business inventories, i’m now showing our 4th quarter GDP growth to be negative…
in computing 4th quarter GDP, the BEA assumed an increase inventories in merchant wholesale and retail industries other than motor vehicles (pdf) for December at a $26.5 billion annual rate, which would work out to about $2.2 billion monthly…today’s business inventory report shows retail inventories ex-autos up 0.2%, or a bit over $0.8 billion, whereas the wholesale inventories report showed total inventories down almost 0.8% billion despite a $168 million increase in automotive products inventories…so it appears that the BEA overestimated December and end of quarter wholesale and retail inventories by nearly $2.4 billion, which would work out to a decrease at $9.5 billion annual rate from previously published figures, which would in turn would result in a subtraction of roughly 0.58 percentage points from 4th quarter GDP…
