Stock indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow)

USD pairs in forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)

Gold and oil prices

Crypto markets (especially Bitcoin and Ethereum)

Why it matters:

PPI reflects wholesale inflation — higher numbers could reignite rate hike fears.

Jobless Claims show labor market health — a surprise here can shift Fed expectations fast.
