Come In

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/17/bu...t-trading.html
"Economists surveyed by Bloomberg Business News estimate that consumer prices rose three-tenths of 1 percent in February. After producer prices came in higher than expected last Friday, investors are especially alert for evidence that the economy's expansion is reviving inflation."

What is "come in"?
  

Top answer

Let's say that various changing market conditions determine what the future prices will be. Economists try to predict them with as much accuracy as possible, but like the weather forecasts, their predictions are usually wrong. The expression "came in" refers to the statistical collection of price data.
