It's because the report time is midnight local and the quote time is  now neutral time (10:59 UTC) so that the price will have the same date in all timezones. Unless your time zone is east of UTC+2 (Central European Standard Time) 10:59Z the next day is closer to midnight than 10:59Z today. Use "Last up through report date" to align the prices the way you want.
