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.

Chair of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee: SEC and CFTC’s crypto regulatory actions remain insufficient, and he hopes the CLARITY Act will be passed after the midterm elections.

U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill stated that while the SEC and CFTC have taken steps to advance crypto regulation, these actions still fall short of the long-term stability congressional legislation can deliver. After the Senate failed to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act last month, the two regulators unveiled related rulemaking plans, but Hill argues permanent legislative changes are still needed to ensure the U.S. retains its leadership in digital assets and blockchain technology. In an interview with Fox Business, Hill said he remains hopeful Congress will pass the CLARITY Act during the post-midterm election lame-duck session. Between the November election and the swearing-in of the new 2027 Congress, the Senate will only have 22 legislative days. Election results could sway lawmakers’ voting stances on the bill. The two regulators currently have a combined seven vacant commissioner seats: after Hester Peirce announced her resignation last week, the SEC is left with only Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda, while CFTC Chairman Michael Selig is the agency’s sole serving commissioner.

Escalating tensions in the Middle East boost safe-haven demand, with the US Dollar Index approaching its year-to-date high.

Against the backdrop of rising oil prices and further escalating tensions in the Middle East, investors flocked to safe-haven assets, leading to a notable strengthening of the U.S. dollar on Wednesday. Following an increase in Iranian attacks targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) rose as much as 0.5%, moving in lockstep with oil prices and now approaching its year-to-date high. Among G10 currencies, nearly all have fallen against the U.S. dollar, with the euro posting the weakest performance, underperforming other major currencies. Catherine Brooks, head of research at XTB, said in a report: "The U.S. dollar is acting as a counter-cyclical asset, attracting safe-haven inflows as other asset classes are sold off." (Jinshi)

New York Fed: U.S. one-year inflation expectations rise to 3.9%, hitting a new high in over three years.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Wednesday survey shows that U.S. consumers’ one-year ahead inflation expectations rose sharply in September, hitting their highest level in over three years, while households’ views on both current and future financial conditions deteriorated. Respondents projected a 3.9% inflation rate one year from now, up from 3.6% in August, marking the highest reading since May 2023. Three-year inflation expectations climbed from 3.2% to 3.3%, while five-year inflation expectations held steady at 3%. The NY Fed survey also noted that in September, households downgraded their assessments of current and future financial situations and perceived that accessing credit had become more difficult. However, households’ concerns about failing to repay debts on time actually eased. Labor market expectations saw some improvement: compared with August, respondents viewed the probability of a one-year ahead unemployment rate rise as lower, their worries about involuntary unemployment over the next year weakened, and their confidence in securing a new job if they lost their current role increased.

Hunter Biden blamed market makers for the sharp drop in the LAPTOP token following its launch, and denied that his team had cashed out.

Hunter Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, published a post revealing independent investigation findings into the LAPTOP token launch, stating he has hired forensics firm Groom Lake to review all transactions on the token’s launch day. He denied his team engaged in insider selling, noting founder tokens remain in the same wallet and have not moved since launch; his personal tokens are locked for six months, then will vest over two years. Citing the investigation, he said Market Maker 1 held $500,000 in startup capital but only deployed roughly $5,200 and fewer than 30,000 tokens to the liquidity pool—just 0.003% of total supply. The extremely low liquidity pushed the token’s price from $0.05 to around $317 in under two minutes, before plunging 98% within an hour. 84 seconds after the price peaked, Market Maker 1 withdrew its funds during the sell-off, draining on-chain liquidity available to absorb sales at near-current prices from $16,157 to zero. He claimed Market Maker 1 earned roughly $686,000 from its DEX position, while Market Maker 2 netted over $2.1 million from related DEX trades, and argued the market makers responsible for the launch issues should repurchase and burn the tokens. He said he takes full ultimate responsibility, will not exit the project, and plans to burn most unclaimed tokens from the initial airdrop next week—this airdrop made up 10% of the total token supply.
