The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 11 April 2019 at 8:30 AM EDT. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 196K for the week ending 6th Apr, from 203K in the week ending 30th Mar.

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.

Measured by Clometrix

TRON's volatility ratio was 1.38x, against 1.33x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.43x, against a typical 1.53x. 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 TRON moved

TRON was at $0.0259 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.31% higher, and an hour later 0.81% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.01% of its price, against 4.29% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Initial Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved TRON about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.36x across 94, against 1.31x across 209. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.38x compares with 1.31x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 303 Initial Claims releases since 2021, TRON's usual price swing is 1.33x. This one was 1.04 times the usual.

Thin line: Initial Claims's usual, 1.33x. Thick line: this release, 1.38x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.
