Measured by Clometrix

Sui's volatility ratio was 3.61x, against 1.52x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 5.90x, against a typical 1.87x. 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 Sui moved

Sui was at $3.3100 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.51% higher, and an hour later 2.11% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 4.23% of its price, against 5.74% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 30 April 2025 at 10:00 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.0% for March 2025, against 0.4% in February 2025. Prices were flat.

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.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Sui less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.02x across 11, against 1.72x across 30. This one came out 7 days before the Federal Reserve's 7 May rate decision. Its own ratio of 3.61x compares with 1.02x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
