Which economic indicators are CPI, PPI, FOMC, NFP?

• A. CPI, PPI, FOMC, NFP
• B. GDP, unemployment rate, inflation rate, PMI
• C. Retail sales, consumer confidence index, PPI, CPI
• D. Industrial production, durable goods, unemployment claims, CPI

Answer: (A)

These terms are all widely discussed in macro analysis, with CPI and PPI being standard price indicators that show how prices change over time, and NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) being a key measure of the job market. FOMC, the Federal Open Market Committee, isn't a numeric indicator itself, but it is a central figure in monetary policy discussions that influence the economy and its data, so it often appears in lists of major macro terms alongside the indicators. The option that contains CPI, PPI, FOMC, and NFP together matches the set described in the prompt, so it is the best choice because it directly corresponds to the four terms given. The other options mix in different indicators (like GDP, unemployment rate, PMI, retail sales, etc.) that don’t align with the exact terms in the prompt.
