: Business inventories in U.S. drop 0.1% in October
Businesses inventories, or products waiting to be sold, fell 0.1% in October, the government said Thursday. That matched the forecast of economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. Lower inventories are typically a negative sign and subtract from gross domestic product. The government also said sales also dropped 1.0% in the month. The ratio of inventories to sales ticked up to 1.37 from 1.36. That’s how many months it would take to sell all the inventory on hand. A rising ratio can occur when the economy slows and demand tapers off. Yet while the economy appears to have softened, it’s still growing at a moderate pace.Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

Charles Schwab Corp.’s stock SCHW rose by 2.4% in premarket trading on Thursday after the financial firm said total client assets rose 12% in November from October to $8.18 trillion, also up 7% from the previous month.

For the month of November, core net new assets brought to the company by new and existing clients were $21.7 billion.

Schwab said it was the largest monthly build in transactional sweep cash since March 2022.
