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.

TST Developers Strike Again? BSC Ecosystem Meme Coin ASTEROID Surges Past $10 Million Market Cap in Just 4 Hours Post-Launch.

Early this morning, BSC ecosystem meme coin ASTEROID surged past $10 million in market capitalization just four hours after its launch. Per GMGN market data, as of press time, the token’s trading volume has topped $20.5 million. GMGN records show the token was deployed from the TST developer address. Earlier, CZ publicly stated that BNB Chain members used TST as an example for tutorial videos, and the team later “handled (deleted)” the private key of the address that created the TST token. This lingering uncertainty is likely the key factor driving ASTEROID’s rapid price rally.

South Korea's stock market crash has driven stock investors to shift their funds back to banks, with more than 24 trillion won moved into fixed deposits.

According to South Korean media outlet Daum, South Korea’s stock market has seen heightened volatility recently, with investors’ risk appetite cooling sharply as funds flow back to safe-haven assets like bank deposits from equities. Driven by semiconductor sector corrections and stricter oversight of leveraged investments, idle funds in the South Korean stock market have exited rapidly, triggering a so-called "reverse capital migration" phenomenon. Data shows that as of the end of July, time deposit balances at South Korea’s five major banks (KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, and NH Nonghyup) reached 973.49 trillion won, rising by 24.09 trillion won from the previous month, marking the largest monthly increase so far this year. Funds linked to the stock market have also contracted noticeably. Data from the Korea Financial Investment Association indicates that investor securities account deposits (idle funds earmarked for stock trading) hit an all-time high of 139.69 trillion won on June 4, but fell to 107.20 trillion won by July 28, a reduction of over 32 trillion won in less than two months. Margin loan balances, which represent the scale of leveraged market transactions, dropped to 33.19 trillion won in the same period, down roughly 4.5 trillion won from the 37.72 trillion won peak set on July 2, a decline of around 12%.
