I'm talking about government figure releases (employment, inflation, etc and the like).

In that case it was probably just a contractual issue between Google and their printer, to the wider market it would have been the same as if Google had accidentally released their numbers early.

(Actually even in the governments case it's still a contractual issue, it's just that governments have huge power by withdrawing early access rights)

If RR traded on those numbers they would have violated criminal insider trading law.
