Chicago PMI leaked?

The Chicago Purchasing Manager Index was supposed to be released at 9:45 today. It would seem the (surprisingly positive) data was known to somebody already 4 minutes earlier, as the futures started rallying on high volume at 9:41. Was the data leaked, or what could explain this?

Of course the high of the day was seen just after 9:45...

 

What do you mean by "leaked"?

NAPM allows paid subscribers access to the report several minutes before it's released publicly.

 

do you know how much it costs?

 

I'm sure more than I care to spend for it......

 

maybe you are cheap
i will try to google it...

 

Oh, didn't know it's a paid release. Thanks.

 

Actually I tried to find the price just now but couldn't.

Here's the website:

cheers
not certain but it looks like you get 3 minutes head start for $240.00? annually (assuming NAPM member is enrolled for this service). It was introduced in Oct-04.

 

Its way more than that and worth every penny
