The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 27 May 2022 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.3% for April 2022, against 0.9% in March 2022. Prices are still rising, but more slowly 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.

How BNB moved

BNB was at $305.10 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 1.08% higher, and an hour later 0.16% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.8% of its price, against 1.87% in the hour before.

Measured by Clometrix

BNB's volatility ratio was 1.98x, against 1.82x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.48x, against a typical 2.19x. That is about 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.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved BNB about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.86x across 18, against 1.62x across 51. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.98x compares with 1.62x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 69 PCE releases since 2021, BNB's median volatility ratio is 1.82x.

How it compares

Across 69 PCE releases since 2021, BNB's usual price swing is 1.82x. This one was 1.09 times the usual.

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.
