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%.
