The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 24 February 2023 at 8:30 AM EST. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.5% for January 2023, against 0.2% in December 2022. Prices are rising faster than before.

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

Measured by Clometrix

Filecoin's volatility ratio was 1.29x, against 1.50x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.06x, against a typical 2.34x. 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 Filecoin moved

Filecoin was at $7.610 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.13% higher, and an hour later 2.23% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 3.81% of its price, against 1.97% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Filecoin more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.67x across 18, against 1.42x across 52. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.29x compares with 1.42x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Filecoin's usual price swing is 1.50x. This one was 0.86 times the usual.

Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.50x. Thick line: this release, 1.29x. 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.
