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 CCTV News, local time on the 18th, Israeli military sources said the U.S. is set to deploy dozens of additional aerial refueling tankers to Israeli military air bases instead of Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport. The Israeli military stated that the move aims to minimize disruptions to civilian air transport. Earlier, Israel’s Ministry of Transport had capped the number of U.S. military tankers stationed at Ben Gurion International Airport at 20 to ease interference with civilian flights during the summer peak travel season. The Israeli military added that the decision to deploy the tankers at Israeli air bases was made by the U.S., and was coordinated with the Israeli military to allow the Israeli Air Force to prepare in advance.

Analysis: The AI hype in SEC filings may have reached the "keyword peak", while the return on corporate AI investments remains to be verified.

By tracking the trend of buzzword usage in SEC filings of U.S. public companies, shifts in market narratives can be identified. Once a certain category of keywords peaks, their associated market value tends to decline. Analysts note that corporate language evolves rapidly in response to changes in technology, culture, and regulatory environments. Today, an increasing number of companies are heavily incorporating AI-related language into their earnings reports and disclosure documents, framing it as a new growth driver. However, despite rising corporate capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenditures (OpEx), few end customers have yet to deliver auditable, verifiable returns on AI investments (ROI). Data shows that the term "AI" has been steadily gaining traction since late 2022 and is now pervasive in large corporate filings. Meanwhile, "Agentic" (referring to agentic AI) is seeing a sharper growth trajectory and is regarded as the newest trending descriptor in the AI space. Analysts say AI technology itself is real and could become one of the most significant technological transformations of this century, but the path from capital investment to tangible value creation remains unclear. The market is still in its early stages, with only a small number of companies reaping substantial benefits from AI infrastructure investments. Going forward, value distribution will need to be rebalanced to enable more stakeholders to benefit.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has targeted Jordan's Al Azraq Air Base.

According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it targeted the US Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan. Meanwhile, the US military base in Kuwait remains ablaze. This morning, Rezaei, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, stated that if the US continues its attacks over the next two to three days, Iran will end its previous strategy of deterrence and reciprocal counterattacks, shifting to a "full offensive and destruction" phase, and may directly strike US military bases and personnel outside the country. He added that Iran’s prior restraint was aimed at preventing spillover of regional conflicts, but US "miscalculations" could escalate the situation. Rezaei also called on regional countries including Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and the UAE to stop the US and Israel from expanding their operations, noting that the US strategy of "combining war and negotiation" has failed, and Iran will step up its counterattacks in the coming days.
