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.

Bitwise: Circle's 2030 Valuation Could Reach $75 Billion, Analysts Bullish on Stock

March 25 — Market institutions remain bullish on Circle’s future despite a temporary 20% price dip earlier this week. Bitwise Asset Management projects Circle could hit a $75 billion valuation by 2030, fueled by stablecoin market expansion. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan noted Citigroup forecasts the stablecoin market will reach $19 trillion by 2030. USD Coin (USDC) currently holds ~25% market share, and its growth trajectory remains unphased by policy concerns, he added. Previously, market jitters emerged over potential restrictions on USDC’s holding/usage incentive mechanisms under the U.S. proposed Clarity Act, triggering sell-offs. However, analysts at William Blair and Bernstein argue the legislation will have minimal impact on Circle’s long-term fundamentals and may even weaken competitors’ ability to attract liquidity via high yields. Meanwhile, rival Tether is ramping up compliance efforts (including "Big Four" audits) to expand its U.S. market footprint. Analysts say Circle

Russia: US Call for Talks With Iran May Be Aimed at Preparing for Force Redeployment

March 25 – According to CCTV News, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Wednesday the U.S. has again called for negotiations with Iran, without ruling out the possibility its goal is to create conditions for redeploying armed forces and adjusting military plans.

Commodity ETF Sees Over $11 Billion in Net Outflows in a Single Month, Setting a New Record

On March 25, commodity ETFs posted their largest-ever fund outflows amid escalating Middle East tensions, per Bloomberg Industry Research data. Roughly $11 billion has flowed out of nearly 100 ETFs focused on precious metals and diversified commodities since March—marking the largest monthly net outflow since 2005 and ending nine straight months of net inflows. Gold was a key sell-off target: the world’s largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Shares, saw redemptions topping $7 billion, while silver ETFs recorded outflows of around $1.4 billion. Analysts note profit-taking from gold’s prior gains, combined with expectations for high interest rates and a strong dollar, has dented gold’s appeal—with the “cash is king” narrative dominating markets. Meanwhile, oil market volatility spiked as the Strait of Hormuz blockage disrupted crude shipments, pushing Brent crude to roughly $104 per barrel. Some funds shifted to energy products, and the United States Oil Fund (USO) unexpectedly drew ab
