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.

US media: Deepening rifts between Trump and Netanyahu are straining US-Israel relations.

The New York Times published an article stating that, amid the U.S. reaching an understanding with Iran and the Trump administration adjusting its Middle East policy, rifts between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are growing, and U.S.-Israel relations are at a critical turning point. The report said Trump had reportedly privately criticized Netanyahu for escalating military actions in Lebanon, telling him "everyone hates you now". U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance recently publicly stated that Israel "cannot rely on constant warfare to solve all its national security issues", emphasizing that U.S. and Israeli interests are not always aligned. Recent public criticism from the U.S. administration toward the Israeli government has sparked discontent among Israeli domestic conservatives and Netanyahu’s pro-Netanyahu camp. A latest poll shows that Trump’s approval rating among Israeli citizens has dropped significantly after the U.S. signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran. The article argues that Israel’s long-held security strategy of relying on military force to achieve "total victory" is facing growing skepticism. Against the backdrop of ongoing wars and deepening international isolation, no matter who comes to power in the future, Israel will have to reassess its security strategy and foreign policy.

Kalshi’s June trading volume hits a record high of $9.4 billion, with the World Cup driving a surge in prediction market trading.

Driven by the 2026 FIFA World Cup, U.S. prediction market platform Kalshi’s June trading volume rose to around $9.4 billion, a nearly 77% jump from May’s roughly $5.3 billion and an all-time high. In the same period, Polymarket International’s trading volume grew from around $3.5 billion to approximately $4.3 billion. Data shows the World Cup served as a key catalyst for the growth of prediction market trading. As this World Cup expanded to 48 teams for the first time, increasing the number of matches and knockout scenarios, it boosted activity in single-match event contracts. Notably, the Round of 16 match between Canada and Morocco saw trading volumes exceeding $48 million on Kalshi and $26.8 million on Polymarket respectively. However, the rapid surge in trading volume has also intensified regulatory debates. Multiple U.S. states continue to argue that sports event contracts should be subject to gambling regulation, rather than being classified as derivatives markets overseen by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Meanwhile, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) recently warned that some event contracts may fall under the regulatory scope of existing binary options rules. Analysts note that the World Cup has validated prediction markets’ ability to attract liquidity during major events, but whether sports event prediction contracts should be regulated as financial derivatives or gambling remains a core regulatory issue facing the industry.

Trump Delivers Speech at U.S. 250th Independence Anniversary Celebration, Emphasizes "American Exceptionalism"

According to a WSJ report, the U.S. held its 250th Independence Day celebration in Washington, D.C. on Saturday local time. Against a backdrop of record-high temperatures and thunderstorms, President Trump delivered a speech emphasizing "American exceptionalism." On Saturday evening, Trump said: "For 250 years, the U.S. has been the hope, promise, light and glory of all nations around the world. No country on Earth can compare to us." Earlier that day, as Washington experienced its hottest Independence Day on record, thousands of people waited in line for hours to attend the "Great American State Fair" and the evening "Salute to America" celebration, only to be ordered by law enforcement to evacuate the National Mall. Hundreds of people headed to nearby museums and federal government buildings to escape the heat. The National Mall was later reopened, allowing crowds to re-enter the secured area for the evening’s events. Trump took the stage after 11 p.m. that night, more than an hour behind schedule. He stated: "America’s strength and power are not something to be ashamed of, but something we take great pride in."
