The release
Released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on 29 October 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. The Personal Income and Outlays came in at 0.2% for September 2026, against 0.2% in August 2026. Personal income is still rising, but more slowly than before.
It arrived at the same moment as Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, Initial Jobless Claims, Continued Jobless Claims and Gross Domestic Product Report, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
Measured by Clometrix
Aave's volatility ratio was 1.27x, against 1.58x for a typical Personal Income release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 2.60x, against a typical 2.40x. 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 $132.90 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.18% higher, and an hour later 0.16% higher. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.88% of its price, against 1.05% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Personal Income 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 1.68x across 17, against 1.57x across 52. This one came out the day after the Federal Reserve's 28 October rate decision. Its own ratio of 1.27x compares with 1.57x for those, so it moved the price less than its circumstances would suggest.
How it compares
Across 69 Personal Income releases since 2021, Aave's usual price swing is 1.58x. This one was 0.81 times the usual.
Thin line: Personal Income's usual, 1.58x. Thick line: this release, 1.27x. Under 1.5x counts as no reaction at all.
