Does the market move on release day?
On 420 PPI days since 1993, SPY's move landed in the biggest quarter of all trading days 24.3% of the time, against 25% for any day, within two standard errors (±4.2 points) of chance: by this measure a PPI day is indistinguishable from a normal session. The median move was 0.56% against 0.53% on all days. SPY closed higher on 55.2% of release days against 53.6% of all days. The 10-year Treasury yield moved a median 3.4 bp either way, against 3.2 bp on all days.
When the headline Producer Price Index came in above its prior reading (191 days), release days carried an average SPY return of +0.02%; when it came in below (166 days), an average SPY return of +0.08%.
The top quarter means a close-to-close SPY move of 1.04% or more either way, the 75th percentile of every trading day since 1993. Headline values are today's revised figures, and no consensus forecasts are used, so above and below compare each print with the previous print. This is not a surprise study: markets react to the gap between a release and what was expected.
