Measured by Clometrix

Sui's volatility ratio was 1.77x, against 1.24x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.88x, against a typical 1.52x. That is a strong reaction by this release's own standard. 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.

Sui was at $0.7454 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.55% higher, and an hour later 0.11% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.94% of its price, against 1.93% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 11 June 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims rose to 229K for the week ending 6th Jun, from 225K in the week ending 30th May.

It arrived at the same moment as Producer Price Index, Core Producer Price Index and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Initial Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Sui more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.33x across 56, against 1.09x across 127. This one came out 6 days before the Federal Reserve's 17 June rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.77x compares with 1.33x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 183 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Sui's median volatility ratio is 1.24x.
