U.S. wholesale inventories increased by 0.1% in April, according to the Commerce Department, less than the expected 0.2% rise. This followed a revised 0.5% decrease in March. The rise was mainly due to a 0.5% increase in durable goods inventories, which was offset by a 0.5% drop in non-durable goods inventories. Wholesale sales also edged up by 0.1% in April, after a 1.3% drop in the previous month.
