Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The PPI, or Producer Price Index, tracks changes in prices of goods and services from the perspective of the producers. This can provide insight into potential changes in consumer prices, as changes in producer prices can eventually be passed on to consumers. The other options (CPI, GDP deflator, and COLAs) are not necessarily indicators of potential changes in consumer prices.
