How Hedera reacted to the Personal Consumption Expenditures on 26 June 2020

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 26 June 2020 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.1% for May 2020, against -0.4% in April 2020. Prices are rising again, after a fall.

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

Hedera's volatility ratio was 0.17x, against 1.51x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 0.08x, against a typical 1.80x. 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 Hedera moved

Hedera was at $0.039490 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.05% higher, and an hour later 0.96% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.11% of its price, against 0.96% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Hedera about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.41x across 18, against 1.51x across 52. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 0.17x compares with 1.51x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 69 PCE releases since 2021, Hedera's usual price swing is 1.51x. This one was 0.11 times the usual.

Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.51x. Thick line: this release, 0.17x. 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.

Questions about this page

Is 0.17x a lot?

No. Under 1.5x the market barely noticed the release.

Will the next PCE do the same?

Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Hedera moved in after past PCE releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.

What is PCE, and why does the Fed watch it?

PCE is the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Federal Reserve measures its 2 percent inflation goal with the PCE price index. PCE, Core PCE and Personal Income are released together at 8:30 a.m. ET and share one reaction. Their median Bitcoin price swing since 2021 is 2.03x, which places them in Tier 2.
