Source discrepancies

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.

  • Error in the source29 Aug 2006

    Two figures from this source that should agree differ by 0.782 (0.873 against 0.091). Compared with LK.EXT.FX_DAILY_TT.JPY.SELL.D.

    Consistency: 0.873 and 0.091, difference 0.782.

    JPY: TT buying rate should be less than the selling rate

    LK.EXT.FX_DAILY_TT.JPY.BUY.D: buying rate 0.8729 vs selling rate 0.0913 this day (buying should be < selling). SELL reads 0.0913 where its own neighbouring days run 0.8902-0.8972 and BUY the same day is 0.8729 - a misplaced decimal (about 10x too small). Source data-entry error.

  • Error in the source6 Oct 2015

    This series reads 1.39; the same figure from the other source reads 1.15. Compared with LK.EXT.FX.JPY.BUY.D.

    Two agencies: 1.391 and 1.15, difference 0.241.

    LK.EXT.FX_DAILY_TT.JPY.BUY.D: IF_Buying_Selling file vs the Data Library

    LK.EXT.FX_DAILY_TT.JPY.BUY.D: value 1.3905 vs Data Library 1.1500. Whole-day anomaly in the source file: every daily-TT currency (buy and sell) jumps on this one day while every neighbouring day matches the Data Library exactly (e.g. USD/BUY 144.53 here vs 138.9x the day before and after, in both the file and the Library) - re-verified series by series. A single bad row in IF_Buying_Selling_Exchange_Rates...xlsx, not a parsing issue.

  • Error in the source1 Oct 2018

    This series reads 1.65; the same figure from the other source reads 1.46. Compared with LK.EXT.FX.JPY.BUY.D.

    Two agencies: 1.654 and 1.46, difference 0.194.

    LK.EXT.FX_DAILY_TT.JPY.BUY.D: IF_Buying_Selling file vs the Data Library

    LK.EXT.FX_DAILY_TT.JPY.BUY.D: value 1.6536 vs Data Library 1.4600. USD/BUY 180.08 here vs ~167.0 the day before and after). A single bad row in the source file.
