The release
Released by the Bureau of Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis on 8 August 2023 at 8:30 AM EDT. The deficit narrowed to $65.2B for June 2023, from $65.8B (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.
How NEAR Protocol moved
NEAR Protocol was at $1.360 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 1.47% of its price, against 0.74% in the hour before.
Measured by Clometrix
NEAR Protocol's volume ratio was 2.15x, against a typical 1.36x. Its volatility ratio could not be measured: the price barely moved through the rest of the day, so there is no ordinary quarter hour to compare against. The ratio compares the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change.
What made it matter
Since 2021, Balance of Trade releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved NEAR Protocol less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.01x across 22, against 1.31x across 45. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision.
Its record
Across 67 Balance of Trade releases since 2021, NEAR Protocol's median volatility ratio is 1.07x.

What is the 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.
