Do markets move on release days?

Since 1993, SPY's move landed in the biggest quarter of all trading days on 33.1% of Jobs report days and 32.4% of FOMC days, against 25% for any day, more than two standard errors above chance. Consumer sentiment (29.6%), Retail sales (26.6%), PCE (25.8%) and GDP (25.4%), and 11 other releases, sit within two standard errors of 25%: by this measure their release days look like any other day.

A move in the biggest quarter means SPY closed 1.04% or more up or down on the day. Values are today's revised data, and no consensus forecasts are used, so this measures the size of release days and says nothing about surprises.
