U.S. wholesale inventories rose 0.8% month-over-month in May, marginally above expectations for a 0.7% advance, while the previous month's figure was revised to a 1.4% gain from a previously reported 1.3% rise, according to a report released Friday by the Department of Commerce.

Since April 2007, inventories have increased by 8.7%.

Durable goods inventories posted a 0.8% gain following the previous month's upwardly revised 1.2% rise. Meanwhile, non-durables rose by 0.7% after increasing 1.7% in April.

Sales advanced by 1.6% in the month, matching the previous month's rise. Sales excluding petroleum advanced by 0.6% following a 1.6% gain in April.

The May inventories-to-sales ratio for merchant wholesalers, not including manufacturers' sales branches and offices, was 1.08, following the 1.09 ratio in the previous month.
