The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 22 January 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.2% for October 2025, against 0.3% in September 2025. Prices are still rising, but more slowly 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.

Measured by Clometrix

Aave's volatility ratio was 1.42x, against 1.57x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 3.73x, against a typical 2.42x. 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 Aave moved

Aave was at $156.99 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.36% higher, and an hour later 0.35% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.69% of its price, against 1.25% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Aave about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.55x across 18, against 1.57x across 52. This one came out 6 days before the Federal Reserve's 28 January rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.42x compares with 1.55x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Aave's usual price swing is 1.57x. This one was 0.90 times the usual.
