The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey counts open positions, hires, quits and layoffs. Its reference month trails the payrolls report by one, so it describes a labour market one month further back.
Across 2 releases, Nasdaq 100 moved a typical 0.50% from high to low in the thirty minutes after the print. The widest was 0.50%, on 30 Jun 2026. It finished that half hour higher 2 times out of 2.
Each line is one release, from 15 minutes before to an hour after, as percent from the last price beforehand. 4 Aug 2026 is the bright one.
| release | 5 min after | 30 min after | 60 min after | swing, first 30 min |

Across 2 releases, S&P 500 moved a typical 0.32% from high to low in the thirty minutes after the print. The widest was 0.32%, on 4 Aug 2026. It finished that half hour higher 2 times out of 2. The net move is consistently smaller than the swing — a median of 0.14% against 0.32% of travel — which is what a price that jumps and comes back looks like in numbers.

The reference price is the last print before the release minute. Every figure on this page is the distance from that price, as a percentage, using one-minute bars. “Swing” is the highest price minus the lowest price in the thirty minutes after the release — not the net change, which is where a price ended up rather than how far it travelled to get there.
Release dates come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics's own published schedule, so an unusual date is a real one rather than a guess from a calendar rule. Prices are Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 index CFDs, which trade around the clock and therefore cover the 08:30 ET releases that land before the equity market opens. They track the futures closely but are not the CME contracts, and the moves are index points.
Past reactions are a record, not a forecast. Nothing here is investment advice.
