问题如下:
Which of the following indicators is most likely to decrease before an increase in average bank prime lending rate?
选项:
A.Change in consumer price index for services.
B.Inventory-sale ratio.
C.ISM new order index.
解释:
C is correct.
Both the change in consumer price index for services and the Inventory-sale ratio are lagging indicators, while only ISM new order index is a leading indicator.
考点:Economic Indicators
解析:average bank prime lending rate 是一个滞后指标,依据题意,我们需要选择一个同步指标或者领先型指标。
B选项和A选项都是滞后型指标,所以不入选。只有C选项是领先型指标,入选。
请问decrease before an increase如何理解?在之后指标增加之前下降?
