The release

Released by the Bureau of Census on 24 November 2021 at 8:30 AM EST. Durable Goods Orders came in at 1.7% for October 2021, against -1.9% in September 2021. Durable goods orders are rising again, after a fall.

It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation, Gross Domestic Product Report, Personal Income and Outlays, Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, Initial Jobless Claims and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

Polkadot's volatility ratio was 1.23x, against 1.27x for a typical Durable Orders release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 0.95x, against a typical 1.29x. Under 1.5x is not a reaction at all: the market barely noticed this release. Both compare the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change: volatility is how far the price ranged, volume how much traded.

How Polkadot moved

Polkadot was at $39.290 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.51% lower, and an hour later 1.53% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.52% of its price, against 1.22% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Durable Orders releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Polkadot about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.16x across 20, against 1.27x across 48. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.23x compares with 1.27x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 68 Durable Orders releases since 2021, Polkadot's usual price swing is 1.27x. This one was 0.97 times the usual.

What is Durable Goods Orders?

The U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Durable Goods Orders report every month. Durable goods orders reflect new orders placed with domestic manufacturers for delivery of long-lasting manufactured goods (durable goods) in the near term or future. The change in the total value of new orders is measured and shared with the public in two releases per month: the advance report on durable goods and the manufacturers' shipments, inventories, and orders.
