The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 31 October 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.2% for September 2024, against 0.1% in August 2024. Prices are rising faster than before.

It arrived at the same moment as Personal Income and Outlays, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, Initial Jobless Claims and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

NEAR Protocol's volatility ratio was 0.97x, against 1.37x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.50x, against a typical 2.04x. 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 NEAR Protocol moved

NEAR Protocol was at $4.200 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later 0.71% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.19% of its price, against 1.67% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved NEAR Protocol less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.02x across 18, against 1.52x across 49. This one came out 7 days before the Federal Reserve's 7 November rate decision. Its own ratio of 0.97x compares with 1.02x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 67 PCE releases since 2021, NEAR Protocol's usual price swing is 1.37x. This one was 0.70 times the usual.

Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.37x. Thick line: this release, 0.97x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.

What is the Personal Consumption Expenditures?

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is a measure of the prices people in the United States pay for goods and services. PCE accounts for about two-thirds of domestic spending and is a significant driver of gross domestic product (GDP). An estimated total of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis as one way to measure and track changes in the prices of consumer goods over time.
