This is news? DUH.

 

U.S. econ data being leaked, ECB study suggests...

 

Seven indicators that they said showed “strong” evidence of pre-announcement drift: The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index; the National Association of Realtors’ existing-home sales report and pending-home sales report; the Commerce Department’s preliminary GDP report; the Federal Reserve’s industrial production report; and the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing and nonmanufacturing index.

Key U.S. economic information may have been leaked ahead of its release, judging from the price moves in key equity and bond futures contracts, according to a study released Monday.

seems to me there are a lot of ways to recreate some of these reports with open data...and the ubiquity of computers....

Don't forget that our millionaire congressmen have free reign on insider trading.

After much public outcry, it was recently made illegal during a huge public signing ceremony, but then quietly slipped back in a few months later.

It's good to be king.
