What the warehouse found when it checked this series: the same figure from two agencies, splice overlaps, published rates against ones recalculated from the index, and outliers.

  • Disagrees with itself29 Apr 2026

    The report of 29 Apr 2026 gives the previous day's price as 380; that day's own report gave 350.

    Price previous: 350 and 380, difference 0.086.

    CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2026/price_report_20260429_e - Daily Price Report - 29 April 2026.pdf: previous-report column = 380.0, but 2026-04-27's own Today = 350.0 (8.6% apart)

    The report's 'yesterday' column differs from the previous report's 'today' on 0.2% of comparisons in 2021-2026 (364 of 209,923) and 1.1% in 2019-2020 (357 of 33,249, clustered in a few reports whose 'yesterday' column restates a different day): CBSL correcting a price the next day, or a typo in one of the two. Which is right is not known; the observation is each day's own 'today'.
