The release

Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 30 November 2023 at 8:30 AM EST. The Personal Consumption Expenditures came in at 0.0% for October 2023, against 0.3% in September 2023. Prices were flat.

It arrived at the same moment as Personal Income and Outlays, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, Initial Jobless Claims and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

Measured by Clometrix

Solana's volatility ratio was 1.45x, against 1.58x for a typical PCE release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.65x, against a typical 1.93x. 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 Solana moved

Solana was at $60.64 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.15% higher, and an hour later 1.04% lower. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 2.06% of its price, against 2.03% in the hour before.

What made it matter

Since 2021, PCE releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Solana about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.60x across 18, against 1.57x across 52. This one came out 13 days before the Federal Reserve's 13 December rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.45x compares with 1.60x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.

How it compares

Across 70 PCE releases since 2021, Solana's usual price swing is 1.58x. This one was 0.92 times the usual.

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.
