October's US business inventory data came in hotter than expected. The month-over-month reading hit 0.3%, beating the forecast of 0.1% and topping the previous month's 0.2% (revised up from 0.3%). This uptick in inventory accumulation could signal supply-chain normalization and stronger business confidence, though it may also suggest softer demand pressures. For crypto traders tracking macro cycles and risk appetite trends, this kind of data often precedes shifts in liquidity and asset rotation patterns worth keeping on the radar.
