Haven't they managed it at the end of the second business day after the end of month most quarters since China started production? Unless I'm wrong about that I don't see what has changed in difficulty. Sure more datapoints adds risk that 'someone' will be late with their part of the numbers but are there really more datapoints than over the last year?
Either way it should be between after markets close July 2 and before they open July 6. So anyone trading options have a decision to make on July 2 at the latest.
Also, China Shanghai is 15 hours ahead of Fremont and should know their number sooner, if anything this should require less time.
