US Wholesale Inventories

The U.S. wholesale inventories unexpectedly rose in June on gains in stocks of farm products and other non-durable goods, suggesting an upward revision to the second-quarter economic growth estimate. The Commerce Department said on Tuesday that wholesale inventories increased 0.3 percent after having been initially estimated as unchanged. Inventories for May were revised up to show a 0.2 percent rise instead of the previously reported 0.1 percent gain. Economists had forecast wholesale inventories unchanged in June in line with the government’s estimate last month. That unchanged reading was incorporated in the advance second-quarter gross domestic product estimate published last month.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the precious metal on dips appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
