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.

Massive Influx of Funds into Crypto Super PAC Shifts Landscape of 2026 US Primaries, Black Neighborhood Targeting Strategy Sparks Controversy

June 21 — Tonya M. Evans, a Forbes columnist and cryptocurrency law and policy expert, pointed out that as the 2026 primary season heats up, political donations from the crypto industry are flowing into Democratic primary campaigns at an unprecedented scale. A targeted strategy focused on Black voting districts has sparked controversy over a practice critics have dubbed "Blackwashing." Protect Progress, a Democratic-aligned group under the Fairshake Network, which is funded by Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), has spent more than $4.9 million to support Maryland House candidate Adrian Boafo in the majority-Black 5th Congressional District. Ads running in the district only touch on restricting ICE enforcement, opposing former President Trump, and addressing cost-of-living issues — with no mention of cryptocurrency whatsoever. Former MSNBC host Joy Reid publicly labeled this tactic "Blackwashing" on her show: a strategy where the crypto industry cloaks itself in progress

Technology companies are reshaping the global investment landscape, with the IT sector now accounting for approximately 38% of the MSCI USA Index.

June 21 — Tech companies are reshaping the global investment landscape, with the information technology (IT) sector now comprising roughly 38% of the MSCI USA Index. This benchmark tracks mid- and large-cap U.S. stocks, covering around 85% of the total U.S. market capitalization. That share has jumped a notable 15 percentage points over the past four years. The IT sector also makes up approximately 44% of the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index, which includes mid- and large-cap stocks from 24 emerging market nations, representing about 85% of each country’s local market capitalization. Since 2022, the technology sector’s weight in this index has more than doubled. Over the same period, the IT sector’s portion of U.S. investment-grade bond issuance has surged more than three times its prior level, hitting a record high of roughly 20%. The current market reality? Tech is everything.

Bernstein Senior Analyst: The First True Chip Super Cycle Is Coming, with the "Bottleneck" Being the Wealth Creator

June 21 — Bernstein senior semiconductor analyst Stacy Rasgon, an 18-year industry veteran with an MIT PhD and engineering background, is calling this the first true semiconductor supercycle he’s witnessed in his career. Rasgon shared eye-opening data: the semiconductor industry hit $800 billion in total revenue last year and is now on track to surge to $1.3 trillion in 2024. Every subsector — from accelerators and memory to semiconductor equipment, network optics, power chips, and even CPUs — is grappling with unprecedented demand. “The only widespread consensus right now is that no one has enough computing power,” Rasgon noted. Take memory, for example: high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI chips makes up over 85% of the chip’s total silicon area, and producing 1GB of HBM requires roughly four times more silicon than standard DRAM. Even as fabs ramp production at full tilt, capacity gains remain tight — a supply-demand mismatch that’s even benefiting Intel. Its previously written-
