"US Car Buyers May Hit the Gas Again: Sales Expected to Bounce Back in May. After a dismal four-month streak of declining light-vehicle sales, the US automotive market is poised for a glimmer of hope in May. According to industry forecasts, deliveries are projected to increase by as much as 1.9 percent, or a more modest 0.1 percent, marking the first year-over-year rise since the start of 2023. This uptick in sales could be a welcome respite for the struggling auto industry, but it remains to be seen whether this trend will continue beyond the month."
After falling four consecutive months, U.S. light-vehicle sales are expected to rise for the first time this year in May, with deliveries up 0.1 percent to 1.9 percent, based on forecasts.
