UK labour market ONS

The UK Jobs Number Was on the Wire at 06:01. At 06:26 the ONS Still Said It Was Not Published.

The ONS released the UK labour market report at 06:00 UTC and FXStreet had it on the wire ninety-six seconds later: unemployment 4.9% against a 5.0% consensus, unchanged in the three months to July.

At 06:26 the ONS's own release page still said "This release is not yet published" and Trading Economics' Actual field was still empty. This desk's rule — go to the issuing agency, not an aggregator — is right about authority and wrong about latency. Plus today's windows, the 17:00 auction clock now second-sourced, and a Fed hike at 92.4%.

option expiries USD/JPY

$2.86 Billion Expires at USD/JPY 154.00 and Spot Is at 154.08 — with CPI Ninety Minutes Before the Cut

The full 10:00 New York cut expiry ladder, with spot against it: $2.86bn at USD/JPY 154.00 with the pair trading 154.08, and EUR1.44bn at EUR/USD 1.1575 thirty pips below spot.

Tokyo traded 53 pips and 12 pips; Britain doubled its GDP consensus for about four. Plus the oil audit we owed you — our own four published Brent prices in 72 hours, and two vendors $3 apart this morning.
