Measured by Clometrix

TRON's volatility ratio was 1.53x, against 1.12x for a typical Balance of Trade release since 2021. Its volume ratio was 1.10x, against a typical 1.24x. That is a strong reaction by this release's own standard. 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 TRON moved

TRON was at $0.1289 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was 0.23% lower, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.75% of its price, against 0.71% in the hour before.

The release

Released by the Bureau of Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis on 3 July 2024 at 8:30 AM EDT. The deficit widened to $74.5B for May 2024, from $73.1B (The International Trade Balance in Goods and Services).

It arrived at the same moment as International Imports in Goods and Services, International Exports in Goods and Services, Initial Jobless Claims and Continued Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Balance of Trade releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved TRON less than those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.00x across 23, against 1.25x across 47. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision. Its own ratio of 1.53x compares with 1.25x for those, so it moved the price more than its circumstances alone would suggest.

Its record

Across 70 Balance of Trade releases since 2021, TRON's median volatility ratio is 1.12x.

How it compares

Across 70 Balance of Trade releases since 2021, TRON's usual price swing is 1.12x. This one was 1.37 times the usual.

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.
