Measured by Clometrix

Internet Computer's volatility ratio was 2.96x, against 1.50x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.36x, against a typical 1.96x. 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 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

This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.96x compares with 1.71x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Across 66 PCE releases since 2021, Internet Computer's median volatility ratio is 1.50x.
