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.

Citi Cuts Short-Term USD Forecast

Citigroup currency strategists have recently turned bearish on the U.S. dollar, as markets brace for a less hawkish Federal Reserve, the U.S. midterm elections, and the U.S. Treasury’s expanded debt buyback program. In a Thursday research note, the Citi team led by Daniel Tobon said it has cut its three-month forecast for the U.S. Dollar Index from 102.12 to 98.34. The shift follows the bank’s warning that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s latest move to lower long-term borrowing costs—expanding buybacks of 10- to 30-year U.S. Treasuries—could come at the cost of a weaker dollar. The day before, the U.S. Dollar Index had dropped to its lowest level since May before stabilizing around 98.9. Tobon and his colleagues added that their stance on the dollar has been more neutral in recent months, and cautioned that risks may rise in the coming months.

Peter Schiff: Bitcoin’s rise is just a "false breakout", advises selling BTC and buying gold.

Longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff posted that Bitcoin’s rally to break above $72,000 is a fake breakout, not a genuine one. The U.S. Treasury’s announcement of a repurchase plan caught the market off guard. Bitcoin investors have long believed that a return to loose monetary policy would act as a catalyst for sharp gains in both gold and Bitcoin, but that view is only half correct. Schiff advised selling Bitcoin and buying gold.
