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.

Central shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz has resumed navigation, with the US stating it has cleared all mines.

According to Axios, the U.S. Navy has cleared the main shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz — specifically the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) channel between Iran and Oman — allowing more oil tankers to pass through. U.S. officials revealed that over the past several months, U.S. Navy underwater drones conducted systematic scans of the region, uncovering more than 100 suspected mine-like objects, after which the U.S. military partnered with private companies to remove or detonate the mines. Over the past 30 days, more than 500 vessels have transited the strait’s southern lane, with only roughly 2% coming under attack by Iranian drones or missiles. Trump stated that any vessel or ship that lays new mines will be "immediately and systematically destroyed." U.S. officials said that with the main lane back in operation, vessels can transit the Strait of Hormuz in both directions under U.S. protection, facilitating more oil to reach global markets.

IMF Managing Director: AI investment is spreading from the United States to the rest of the world, and could become an engine of global economic growth.

Beating AI News Flash: According to a Financial Times report, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated that the AI investment boom is spreading from the United States to the rest of the world. As countries scale up construction of data centers and related infrastructure, AI is shifting from a U.S.-specific phenomenon to a global engine of economic growth. Georgieva noted that the global economy has been impacted by energy shocks triggered by the Iran war and potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, yet its actual performance has outperformed earlier expectations. The energy crisis’s impact has been buffered by falling energy demand, releases of emergency oil and gas reserves, increased energy supplies from regions outside the Gulf, and growth in renewable energy and coal supplies. She pointed out that the global economy is currently in a "tug-of-war" between the AI boom and the economic shocks from the Iran war. While AI investment remains concentrated in the U.S., countries participating in the AI hardware supply chain and exporting related products globally are also benefiting. However, Georgieva warned that energy shocks are not over. As oil and gas reserves continue to decline and winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, a renewed rise in oil prices could push up inflation, force global central banks to raise interest rates, further increasing government financing costs and dragging down economic growth.

Hyperliquid AQAv2’s first tranche of funds could repurchase approximately $20 million worth of HYPE.

The first revenue from Hyperliquid’s AQAv2 mechanism is expected to flow into the Hyperliquid Aid Fund on October 3, with market projections putting the initial funding at around $20 million, which will be used to repurchase HYPE tokens. AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) is a stablecoin mechanism announced by Hyperliquid in May this year, allowing stablecoins not exclusively issued by Hyperliquid—including USDC—to obtain the "Aligned" qualification. Per public details, AQAv2 returns the majority of stablecoin revenues to the Hyperliquid ecosystem: 90% of these revenues are allocated to relevant mechanisms, and 100% of that sum is subsequently used to repurchase and burn HYPE tokens. Coinbase has been named the fund deployment partner, while Circle handles technical deployment; both firms will also stake HYPE to participate in the mechanism. Analysts forecast the mechanism will generate an additional $135 million to $160 million in annual HYPE repurchase pressure.
