The 26 July economic statistics have the same numbers in sources and sinks as the 24 July economic statistics. When is this data going to be correct?

Svar--
Until today, there was a bug whereby the date on the page would update BEFORE the stat generation actually completed. So, if someone checked the page WHILE the stat generation was running, they would see today's date on yesterday's stats.
Typically the date would only be inaccurate for the few minutes it took the stats to run. However-- between the July 19th and July 26th, stats were taking a very long time to run, because of a problem with our data warehouse. (An unrelated process was putting huge load on the warehouse and slowing things down.) If you look at the historical stats, you will actually see that we are don't have data files posted for a few days from that window.
During this time period (the 19th to the 26th), the stats as reported on the web page were often a full day or more out of date, even though the copy on the page indicated otherwise.
Both these problems have been fixed: the date on the page now updates when the stats extraction is COMPLETE (not when it starts). And the stats extraction process itself should run more reliably than it did between the 19th and the 26th.
