Stocks at China's car dealerships fell 0.7 points year over year in August to 56.2%, indicating movement in inventories, Yicai Global reported Wednesday, citing data from the China Automobile Dealers Association's Vehicle Inventory Alert Index.

For luxury and important brands, the index stood at 59.3%, while the index for domestic brands was at 51.8%, the reports aid.

A lower index means inventories are in sync with sales.
