Measured by Clometrix
Aave's volatility ratio was 4.82x, against 1.38x for a typical Initial Claims release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 5.46x, against a typical 1.63x. 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 Aave moved
Aave was at $26.24 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 3.73% higher, and an hour later 7.36% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 8.61% of its price, against 1.33% in the hour before.
The release
Released by the Department of Labor on 5 November 2020 at 8:30 AM EST. Initial Jobless Claims fell to 773K for the week ending 31st Oct, from 776K in the week ending 24th Oct.
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 Aave about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.43x across 94, against 1.33x across 209. This one came out on the day of the Federal Reserve's 5 November rate decision. Its own ratio of 4.82x compares with 1.43x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
Its record
Across 303 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Aave's median volatility ratio is 1.38x.
How it compares
Across 303 Initial Claims releases since 2021, Aave's usual price swing is 1.38x. This one was 3.49 times the usual.
Thin line: Initial Claims's usual, 1.38x. Thick line: this release, 4.82x.

What is Initial Jobless Claims?
The weekly claims report is released Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. ET by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Initial claims are new jobless claims filed by U.S. workers seeking unemployment compensation, included in the unemployment insurance weekly claims report. The report, published since 1967, includes a separate count of workers receiving unemployment insurance benefits, known as continuing claims.Questions about this page
