Shared minute. Retail sales printed at the same time. The market moved once, and how much of the move belongs to each report cannot be separated.
The headline figure as it read on the day; for price indexes the seasonally adjusted change from the prior month. The gap to the forecast is in percentage points (pp) where both are percentages.

Signed moves from the release price, in percent. Usual distance is the median size of the Nasdaq move at that mark across all 37 import prices releases, without its sign; the swing row compares like with like.
The first five minutes went up 0.03%. At the 16:00 ET close the Nasdaq 100 was down 0.39% from the release price, so by the measure on the import prices page this release was a reversal: the close was across the release price from the 5-minute mark. That compares two moments, not the path between them.
