Measured by Clometrix

NEAR Protocol's volatility ratio was 2.02x, against 1.37x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 6.33x, against a typical 2.04x. 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.

How NEAR Protocol moved

NEAR Protocol was at $4.210 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later 0.48% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.66% of its price, against 1.43% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 30 August 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.2% for July 2024, against 0.1% in June 2024. 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 NEAR Protocol less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.02x across 18, against 1.52x across 49. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 2.02x compares with 1.52x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 67 PCE releases since 2021, NEAR Protocol's median volatility ratio is 1.37x.

How it compares

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.
