Measured by Clometrix

TRON's volatility ratio was 2.19x, against 1.43x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 3.33x, against a typical 1.73x. That is a strong reaction by this release's own standard. 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.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 26 March 2021 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.4% for February 2021, against 0.4% in January 2021. Prices are rising at the same pace as 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.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved TRON about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.36x across 17, against 1.49x across 52. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.19x compares with 1.49x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.
