WASHINGTON — U.S. wholesale inventories unexpectedly surged in November and rose by the most in five years, a sign of confidence among companies in the economic recovery.
Inventories rose 1.5 percent to $386.26 billion, the Commerce Department said Friday. Wall Street expected a 0.3 percent decline. The increase, coming even as sales leaped, was the largest since a 1.5 percent climb in October 2004.
