Data Analysis
The release
Released by the Bureau of Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis on 8 October 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. The deficit narrowed to $71.2B for August 2024, from $78.6B (The International Trade Balance in Goods and Services).
It arrived at the same moment as International Imports in Goods and Services and International Exports in Goods and Services, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.
Measured by Clometrix
Bitcoin's volatility ratio was 1.22x, against 1.10x for a typical Balance of Trade release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.02x, against a typical 1.22x. 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 Bitcoin moved
Bitcoin was at $62,588.00 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.2% lower, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.58% of its price, against 0.3% in the hour before.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Balance of Trade releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Bitcoin less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 0.97x across 23, against 1.25x across 47. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.22x compares with 1.25x for those, about what its circumstances would suggest.
About International Trade Balance in Goods and Services
The balance of trade (BOT) measures economic transactions between a nation and its trading partners, showing the difference between the value of a country's imports and exports for a given period. The BEA and Census Bureau reports on the U.S. balance of payments (BOP), covering goods and services that move in and out of the country. Economists use this information to gauge the relative strength of a country's economy. When exports are higher than imports, it tends to boost GDP. In the opposite scenario, it creates a trade deficit.
