The release
Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 28 April 2023 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.5% for March 2023, against 0.6% in February 2023. Personal income is still rising, but more slowly than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Personal Consumption Expenditures and Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
How Aptos moved
Aptos was at $10.070 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.1% lower, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.39% of its price, against 0.99% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
Aptos's volatility ratio was 2.00x, against 1.73x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.60x, against a typical 2.76x. That is about 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.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Personal Income releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Aptos about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.79x across 15, against 1.70x across 33. This one came out 5 days before the Federal Reserve's 3 May rate decision. Its own ratio of 2.00x compares with 1.79x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.
Its record
Across 48 Personal Income releases since 2021, Aptos's median volatility ratio is 1.73x.

What is the Personal Income and Outlays?
Personal Income measures the change in the total value of income received from all sources by consumers. Income is closely correlated with consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity.Questions about this page
Is 2.00x a lot?
For a Personal Income release it is ordinary: the usual is 1.73x. Each report has its own usual size, and its releases show it.
Will the next Personal Income do the same?
Nobody can say. A forecast shows the range Aptos moved in after past Personal Income releases, so you can plan for the likely size of the move.
What is PCE, and why does the Fed watch it?
PCE is the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Federal Reserve measures its 2 percent inflation goal with the PCE price index. PCE, Core PCE and Personal Income are released together at 8:30 a.m. ET and share one reaction. Their median Bitcoin price swing since 2021 is 2.03x, which places them in Tier 2.
