Next Release | |
FF Notes | The 'Previous' listed is the 'Actual' from the Preliminary release and therefore the 'History' data will appear unconnected. There are 2 versions of this indicator released about a week apart - Preliminary and Final. The Preliminary release, which the source first reported in Aug 2016, is the earliest and thus tends to have the most impact; |
Why Traders Care | It's a signal of future business spending because companies are more likely to purchase goods once they have depleted inventories; |
