Key drivers

  • persistent nominal inventory accumulation
  • recent positive monthly momentum
  • defense aircraft and other long-cycle production inventories
  • survey and concurrent-seasonal-adjustment noise

rule
Resolve to the preliminary June 2026 value for Defense capital goods; Total Inventories in Table 2 of the first U.S. Census Bureau June 2026 Advance Report, using the seasonally adjusted estimate in millions of dollars multiplied by 0.001 and rounded to three decimal places in USD billions. Ignore all later revisions and corrections not contained in that first print.
