Thus, we analyse the reaction of individual and overall market forecasters to the central parity rate (CPR) surprise. We identified their under-reaction or over-reaction patterns. We identify that forecast revision correlates positively with CPR surprise in shorter time-frames, while correlates negatively in longer time-frames. We further compare the forecast trend with CPR trend and identified that CPR could be an important factor that affects market predictions of exchange rate.
