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.

According to market sources, U.S. House Democrats plan to expand the Cryptocurrency Investor and Consumer Rights Act, introduced by Representative Maxine Waters, into a more comprehensive 2025 Market Structure Act. The proposal would grant the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) broader regulatory authority, expand its oversight role over the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and introduce federal-level ethical restrictions. If advanced, the plan could impact the U.S. crypto market’s regulatory framework and the regulatory division of responsibilities between the SEC and CFTC.

Serenity: The market is indiscriminately selling off the entire AI industry chain, with some storage stocks valued as low as 1.6 times their annualized price-earnings ratio.

Serenity noted in a post that the current market deleveraging has been severe, with investors indiscriminately selling off stocks related to the AI industry chain, and some companies’ share prices have even fallen back to levels seen before major orders and earnings expectations were met. Taking storage chip firm ESMT as an example, Serenity pointed out that the company has a market cap of around $2 billion, generated $526.2 million in gross profit and $330 million in net profit in the third quarter, with net assets of approximately $937 million, including net cash of about $740 million. Based on annualized current earnings, its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is only around 1.6x. Despite ongoing market concerns about a cycle peak, unsustainable earnings, and lack of competitive moats, the exit trend from DDR2 and DDR3 production lines is tightening supply. ESMT expects it may offset weakening consumer demand in the fourth quarter by raising average product prices. Serenity further noted that manufacturers including Samsung and Micron are gradually exiting DDR2 and DDR3 production lines, and Nanya Technology has also halted related lines; ESMT’s revenue is mainly derived from these two types of storage products. It believes the market has underestimated the price support brought by the contraction in traditional storage supply, and overlooked that firms like Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, and SanDisk are locking in profitability through long-term supply agreements and price floors. Serenity criticized that the market is simultaneously selling off AI and storage industry chain companies that actually generate massive cash flow, while channeling funds to firms like Walmart (with a P/E ratio of around 47x) and CrowdStrike (with a forward P/E ratio of approximately 180x). In its view, the market is currently not focusing on the actual free cash flow created by enterprises, but is trapped in indiscriminate selling.
