Measured by Clometrix

Sui's volatility ratio was 1.87x, against 1.24x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.15x, 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.

How Sui moved

Sui was at $0.5293 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.62% higher, and an hour later 1.44% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.66% of its price, against 1.4% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 22 November 2023 at 8:30 AM EST. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 213K for the week ending 18th Nov, from 229K in the week ending 11th Nov.

It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders, Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation 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 was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.87x compares with 1.09x 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.

How it compares

Across 183 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Sui's usual price swing is 1.24x. This one was 1.51 times the usual.
