4E: US Stock and Crypto Markets Rebound, Focus This Week on US February PCE Price Index

2025.03.24 11:00:34

March 24th. Based on 4E monitoring, during the past week, the dovish remarks from the Federal Reserve and President Trump's statement regarding flexibility in the tariff plan successively boosted stock market confidence. After significant fluctuations, the three major indices closed up collectively for the week: the Dow increased by 1.2%, marking the largest weekly gain in more than two months; the S&P 500 rose by 0.51%, ending a four-week losing streak; the Nasdaq rose slightly by 0.17%, halting the previous four-week decline. However, large-cap tech stocks generally closed the week in a lower position, with Nvidia down by 3.26%, Tesla down by 0.53%, and experiencing a consecutive nine-week decline. The cryptocurrency market witnessed fluctuations but overall showed a mild upward trend. Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 on Tuesday and then rebounded. It surged above $87,000 on Thursday following the dovish comments from the Fed and hit a two-week high. After that, it oscillated around the $84,000 level. This morning, it experienced another rapid increase and was trading at $85,721 before the deadline, with a 3.18% increase in the past 7 days. Other major altcoins saw slight gains, with Ethereum striving to hold above $2,000, and the on-chain meme trend of BNB continued to attract attention. Signs of a market recovery are emerging, and investor sentiment is improving. In the commodities market, the US dollar index rose by 0.34% for the week, marking its first weekly gain this month. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East continued to escalate, resulting in a more than 2% increase in crude oil prices for two consecutive weeks. Spot gold rose by 1.31% last week, extending a three-week upward trend. Last week, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, in line with market expectations, with the guidance for two rate cuts still in place for the year. Powell's remarks also brought some comfort to the market. This week, the focus is on the release of the Fed's preferred inflation measure - the PCE Price Index on Friday. Additionally, as the April 2nd "tariff deadline" approaches, market caution remains due to uncertainty. However, once the tariff outlook becomes clearer, the ongoing market turbulence of recent weeks may start to subside. As a financial trading platform that supports cryptocurrency, stock indices, commodities such as gold, and forex assets, eeee.com recently launched a USDT stablecoin financial product with an 8% annualized return, providing investors with a potential hedging option. 4E reminds you to be aware of market volatility risks and to allocate your assets rationally.

Federal Reserve's Kashkari downplays concerns over the rise in US Treasury yields, stating that the Treasury market is still functioning normally.

Federal Reserve’s Kashkari downplayed market concerns over rising U.S. Treasury yields, saying the market is functioning well and the recent surge is unlikely to impact monetary policy discussions. Kashkari stated on Sunday: “All signs show the U.S. Treasury market is operating normally, trading is proceeding smoothly, and market liquidity is sufficient, so we can use the federal funds rate as the primary policy tool to curb inflation.” U.S. Treasury yields across all maturities rose last week, with the benchmark 10-year yield closing around 4.73%. The 30-year yield held near its highest level since 2007. Kashkari added that while current Treasury yields are high compared to recent historical levels, yields were much higher in the 1990s. “We need more data, but I don’t want to prejudge the outcome of the next meeting. However, I currently don’t think inflation will fall back to the target level in the short term.”

ACE Robotics: Embodied intelligence is likely to reach its 'ChatGPT moment' by the end of 2027, with data bottlenecks serving as a key variable.

Wang Xiaogang, chairman of Chinese embodied intelligence startup ACE Robotics (Daxiao Robotics), told Reuters in an interview: "We expect that by the end of next year, driven by world models and environmental data capture, embodied intelligence will usher in its ChatGPT moment." ACE Robotics, backed by Ant Group and SenseTime, raised over $100 million in the first half of 2026 and plans to launch an IPO "as soon as regulatory approval is obtained." Wang noted that current robots still struggle to reliably perform a wide range of tasks in unfamiliar environments, with the core constraint not being algorithms but a severe shortage of training data. "The entire industry has accumulated only around 100,000 hours of data over the past few years, which is far insufficient to train embodied foundation models." ACE Robotics plans to collect tens of millions of hours of real-world environmental data within two years and deploy its technology to 1,000 stores over the next year. At the industry level, Boston Dynamics released the mass-produced version of its Atlas robot in January, claiming AI has brought it closer to commercial deployment; Alibaba launched the Qwen-Robot Suite robot model kit in June, while researchers are also testing data collection schemes such as the HumanoidExo exoskeleton. The competition in embodied intelligence is shifting from hardware prototypes to a dual race in data scale and model capabilities.
