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.

OpenAI: Free users will receive unlimited text chat capabilities, and the company will update its GPT-5.6 Sol model.

OpenAI announced that ChatGPT will update GPT-5.6 Sol for Plus and Pro users, making responses more focused, factually reliable, and cutting unnecessary formatting and details. The model will support both instant answers and deep reasoning, with users able to adjust the level of thinking allocated to each response via a new slider. In internal evaluations of financial, medical, and legal queries, OpenAI found that compared to GPT-5.5 Instant, GPT-5.6 Luna reduced responses with at least one factual error by roughly 62%, while GPT-5.6 Sol saw a 68% drop. GPT-5.6 Luna will become the default model for Free and Go users this week. Starting next week, free users will get unlimited text chats and can handle queries requiring deeper reasoning via a new "Think" button, though they will remain subject to anti-abuse rules; file uploads, image tools, and other features will stay restricted. This update only applies to ChatGPT’s daily conversation experience—GPT-5.6 Sol used in Work and Codex will not be adjusted in this rollout.

Proposed Iran-Oman Strait Agreement Faces Dual Hurdles: US Sanctions and Insurance Barriers

According to a Reuters report, four industry sources stated that a proposed agreement between Iran and Oman would grant Tehran control over vessels entering the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, but the deal faces implementation hurdles due to U.S. sanctions and restrictive insurance provisions governing any payments. Any toll measures would trigger significant compliance risks, as the U.S. has sanctioned Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Administration, the entity operating the waterway. The U.S. Treasury also bans U.S. individuals and entities from accepting services related to "safe passage" offered by the Iranian government. Industry sources added that any such payment could result in asset freezes. Another complicating factor is a clause introduced by the Lloyd’s Market Association at the end of July for war risk underwriters: under this clause, insurance coverage would be terminated if a vessel pays transit fees, passage charges, or other fees to traverse the Strait of Hormuz. An insurance industry source noted that shipping companies are caught in a dilemma: the Lloyd’s Market Association clause prohibits insurers from providing coverage to shipowners making such payments, while Iran seeks to collect passage fees.

MetaMask officially launches Agent Wallet, supporting AI agents to autonomously execute on-chain transactions.

MetaMask has officially launched Agent Wallet, a self-custody AI agent wallet for traders and developers. Users can connect to agent frameworks including Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw, allowing agents to execute on-chain operations within preset rules. Agent Wallet supports Hyperliquid, as well as EVM-compatible chains such as Robinhood Chain and Monad. Agents can also perform ERC-7821 batch swaps and one-off transactions, eliminating the need to hold native on-chain tokens for gas fees, with MetaMask settling network costs from transferred assets. Before executing supported EVM transactions, MetaMask provides transaction simulation, threat scanning, and MEV protection. Eligible transactions that incur losses despite passing security checks are covered by up to $10,000 in monthly transaction protection. MetaMask stated that Agent Wallet’s core is to enable AI agents to execute transactions within permission boundaries set by users, rather than granting them unrestricted wallet access.
