I do not not trust anyone, for any sort of intentional blue pill, behind the shady scenes Junta stuff for I truly believe the collective brains trust at the Statistics : RBA and Aus. Stats to be as honest as the day is long.
I do however believe that statistics that are not based on a broad open market clearance, are subject to complexity in defining and quantifying.
In such cases we simply don't have the functional mathematical tools to define that complexity, and then relate the findings to others in any standard coherency!
Traded prices on large bourses are possibly our 'best pricing data'.
Nonetheless the price of any traded asset is done so in a universe of price & risk that will warp & flex traded prices, notwithstanding the value of the last cleared trades.
This so no matter how liquid a particular asset is.
The last trade, is no more a speck in time, and then its truth value immediately decays & is no longer true.
