[09:17] Lucefear1: Business Inventories data were just released at 8:30 ET.
[09:18] Lucefear1: Inventories for March dropped by 0.3% which was weaker than the consensus for a 0.2% decline. Additionally, the number for February was revised downward to a 0.4% decline. These figures indicate the first quarter inventory correction might have been even deeper than previously expected. This could mean a downward revision to first quarter GDP (several factors already point in that direction), but the leaner inventory level suggests most of the correction is behind us.
