What is Metaverse?
Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space.
People use AR and VR technologies to build a new world that merges the physical and virtual worlds. Everyone has new opportunities there.
What happened recently?
On Thursday, $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that the social-media company was formally becoming Meta Platforms Inc., with the new name embodying the metaverse company Facebook has set its sights on becoming.

Last time we talked about what CPI is, today we'll talk about its perfect partner——PPI.
1. What is PPI？
The Producer Price Index (PPI) is used to measure commodity prices, which represents the average price of goods purchased by manufacturers.
2. Why PPI is CPI's perfect partner?
In general, PPI measures the average price of upstream market, and CPI represents average price of downstream markets.
When the upstream price increases, the downstream market will receive increased signs, and the price gap between the two markets can be filled with cost-shifting.
For example, if lumber's price increases, the price of wooden stools will increase.
Therefore, investors can use PPI to predict CPI. This is why they are perfect partners.
Don't read this:What is CPI?
3. What is the PPI for?
PPI can measure the inflation rate experienced by manufacturers.
If PPI is higher than expected, this means the inflation risk is rising from manufacturers.
The Fed may increase the interest rates based on an increasing PPI, which results in bullish on the U.S. dollar.
