Measured by Clometrix

Sui's volatility ratio was 2.52x, against 1.24x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.75x, against a typical 1.52x. That is more than twice what this release usually does. 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 Sui moved

Sui was at $0.8193 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.14% lower, and an hour later 0.51% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.14% of its price, against 1.86% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 5 September 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 228K for the week ending 31st Aug, from 232K in the week ending 24th Aug.

It arrived at the same moment as 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 13 days before the Federal Reserve's 18 September rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.52x compares with 1.33x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
