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 itself7 May 2019
The report of 7 May 2019 gives the previous day's price as 67; that day's own report gave 68.
Price previous: 68 and 67, difference 0.015.
CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2019/price_report_20190507e - Daily Price Report - 07 May 2019.pdf: previous-day column = 67.0, but 2019-05-06's own figure = 68.0 (1.5% 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'.
