  • Disagrees with itself24 Jan 2019

    The report of 24 Jan 2019 gives the previous day's price as 82; that day's own report gave 81.

    Price previous: 81 and 82, difference 0.012.

    CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2019/price_report_20190124e_0 - Daily Price Report - 24 January 2019.pdf: previous-day column = 82.0, but 2019-01-22's own figure = 81.0 (1.2% 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'.
