"U.S. Car Sales on the Rebound: May Sees First Yearly Increase. After a four-month slump, the American automotive market is poised to show signs of life in May, with forecasters predicting a modest but welcome uptick in light-vehicle sales. According to industry insiders, sales are expected to rise by between 0.1 and 1.9 percent, a far cry from the declines seen in recent months, but a crucial step towards stabilizing the market. The revival comes as consumers and manufacturers alike are holding their breath for a post-pandemic recovery, and a boost in sales would be a significant morale-booster for the industry."
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.
