My understanding of the 5.8% GDP is:

3.1% was due to removing inventory.
In other words, inventory on the shelf (goods produced some time ago) was
2.6%.

While 2.6% was for REAL FINAL SALES (or newly produced goods). Until all the
old inventory is gone the current activity is closer to this 2.6% for
adjusted GDP.
