| Generally when you see big differences in statistics in a short period of time, you have to look at if the data is being gathered the same way. Other than some things like the price of oil before or after the US attacked Iran, which experienced a massive jump for obvious reasons, you expect to see some level of continuity, even if the rate increases or decreases. Statistical jumps are more likely to be data that you can't compare with each other because you're fundamentally measuring different things. |
