inflation indicators may help in assessing the balance of risks regarding the outlook for inflation. This paper tests a wide … range of observable variables for their leading-indicator properties with respect to core inflation, including: commodity … cities, and the ratio of unfilled orders to shipments in manufacturing are among the best predictors of core inflation.
