The release
Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 26 August 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.2% for July 2026, against -0.1% in June 2026. Prices are rising again, after a fall.
It arrived at the same moment as Durable Goods Orders, Durable Goods Orders Excluding Transportation, Gross Domestic Product Report, 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
Gram's volatility ratio was 1.01x, against 1.29x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.73x, against a typical 2.04x. 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 Gram moved
Gram was at $1.420 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.7% lower, and an hour later 1.41% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.41% of its price, against 1.41% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Gram less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.03x across 5, against 1.32x across 21. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.01x compares with 1.32x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
How it compares
Across 26 PCE releases since 2021, Gram's usual price swing is 1.29x. This one was 0.78 times the usual.
Thin line: PCE's usual, 1.29x. Thick line: this release, 1.01x. 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 1.01x 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 Gram moved in after past PCE releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.
