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.

Iran's UN Mission: Allegation of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz Unfounded

On March 5 local time, Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations issued a social media post refuting claims that Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz, calling the allegations baseless and completely absurd. Iran has consistently abided by international law and upheld freedom of navigation, the mission emphasized. The post also accused the U.S. of being the real threat to maritime security: Just yesterday, the Iranian frigate *Jamaran* — on a naval visit to India with 130 sailors aboard — was unjustly sunk by a U.S. submarine in international waters roughly 2,000 miles from Iran’s coast. Over 100 sailors were killed in the attack. “This reckless act violates fundamental principles of international law and freedom of navigation,” the mission stated.

Trump: Must be Personally Involved in Iran Succession Plan, Rejects Khamenei's Son as Supreme Leader

On March 6, former President Donald Trump said in a Thursday interview that he believes he needs to personally weigh in on choosing Iran’s next leader—drawing a parallel to his approach in Venezuela, per AXIOS. Trump noted Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the assassinated top Iranian leader, is the most likely successor—but emphasized he finds that outcome unacceptable. The Iranian regime has delayed announcing the Supreme Leader’s successor for days, though statements from Iranian political figures Thursday hinted an announcement could come soon. “They’re wasting time. Khamenei’s son is a nobody,” Trump said. “I have to get involved in the appointment process like I did with Diosdado Cabello in Venezuela.” He added he will not accept any new Iranian leader who continues Khamenei’s policies, warning that would force the U.S. to “go back to war within five years.” (Golden Finance)
