US DATA: Sept wholesale inventories +1.5%, sales +0.4%, inv/sales
ratio 1.18 vs 1.17 in Aug and 1.22 a year ago. Inventories have risen
every month so far in 2010, and in September were led by sharp gains in
inventories of farm products and petroleum. Factory inventories were
already reported +0.7% for Sept, so business inventories could post a
large gain depending on retail inventories.
