In the thirty minutes after new home sales on 25 Mar 2024, the Nasdaq 100 swung 0.42% from its high to its low, close to the typical 0.41% across all 36 new home sales releases measured here (the 16th largest). It ended the half hour up 0.18% from the release price. By the 16:00 ET close it was up 0.17%, back across the release price from the first five minutes.
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 36 new home sales releases, without its sign; the swing row compares like with like.
The first five minutes went down 0.06%. At the 16:00 ET close the Nasdaq 100 was up 0.17% from the release price, so by the measure on the new home sales 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.
