Some data in the market-moving CPI report was released early by the Labor Department

Information about Wednesday's critical consumer price index release circulated a half-hour early on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.

"In advance of CPI and Real Earnings releases, BLS inadvertently loaded a subset of files to the website approximately 30 minutes prior to the release," the BLS said inThe statement provided little other detail, but noted that the Labor Department agency has notified the Office of Management and Budget and the department's Office of the Inspector General.

"It was weird, because usually you're watching all the ticks beforehand and I didn't notice anything unusual, so I wonder to what extent it mattered," said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at the Bleakley Advisory Group. "There was nothing that I see that helps to explain any trading that went on beforehand."
