I have an stupid question.. just curious...
How the news data are published to the world? I mean, for example, this friday NFP number.. -4K... was expected 110K... and then at the precise instant... the -4K number is published somewhere.. and all the news providers publish the -4K number... So... Where is the number coming from?
and the question is a bit deeper... I think the number has to remain secret until the precise instant... otherwise it wouldn't make a surprise... But how can it be warranted to be secret? Someone has to know it before the precise moment. I was thinking... how it is... if big players can have the information 1 or 2 minutes before... I can imagine all kinds of subornation... Knowing this kind of data in advance is big money.
So, is there any kind of security to the news data feed? How does it work?
