Measured by Clometrix

Dogecoin's volatility ratio was 4.08x, against 1.51x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 6.99x, against a typical 2.50x. That is more than twice 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.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 29 September 2023 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.3% for August 2023, against 0.1% in July 2023. Prices are rising faster 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.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Dogecoin about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.51x across 18, against 1.54x across 52. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 4.08x compares with 1.54x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Dogecoin's median volatility ratio is 1.51x.

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.
