Disagrees with itself2 Jul 2021
The report of 2 Jul 2021 gives the previous day's price as 567; that day's own report gave 614.

Price previous: 614 and 567, difference 0.077.
CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2021/price_report_20210702e - Daily Price Report - 02 July 2021.pdf: previous-report column = 567.0, but 2021-07-01's own Today = 614.0 (7.7% 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'.
