For interested parties (from the docs to 7.1.3):

By default, Postgres executes transactions in unchained mode (also known
as "autocommit" in other database systems). In other words, each user
statement is executed in its own transaction and a commit is implicitly
performed at the end of the statement (if execution was successful,
otherwise a rollback is done). BEGIN initiates a user transaction in
chained mode, i.e., all user statements after BEGIN command will be
executed in a single transaction until an explicit COMMIT, ROLLBACK, or
execution abort.
