The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 31 July 2025 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.3% for June 2025, against 0.2% in May 2025. 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

Litecoin's volatility ratio was 0.64x, against 1.64x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.13x, against a typical 2.05x. 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 Litecoin moved

Litecoin was at $109.90 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.14% lower, and an hour later 0.4% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.14% of its price, against 0.86% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Litecoin more than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.89x across 18, against 1.49x across 52. This one came out the day after the Federal Reserve's 30 July rate decision. Its own ratio of 0.64x compares with 1.49x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Litecoin's usual price swing is 1.64x. This one was 0.39 times the usual.

Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.64x. Thick line: this release, 0.64x. 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.
