Daily Market Notes
The Page Said Eight Minutes Ago. It Said Eight Minutes Ago Seven Hours Earlier.
A news index this desk reads every slot served the same eight items with the same relative timestamps — "8 minutes ago" among them — at 06:08 UTC today and at 23:14 UTC last night, seven hours apart; a query-string variant returned a wholly current list one minute later. Monday's services survey printed 58.8 against a vendor "previous" of 58.7 that was the same month's flash, not August's 56.5: a 2.3-point move reported as one tenth, a factor of twenty-three. And a Tokyo note from 7 August put the dollar within six pips of this morning while its euro crosses were 272 and 430 pips out.
