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.

Japanese Media: Iran Ready to Allow Japanese Ships Through the Strait of Hormuz

March 21 (Kyodo News) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Wednesday that Iran is ready to allow Japan-linked vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz following talks between officials from the two countries. Japan relies heavily on Middle Eastern oil imports. This month, the Iran-Iraq War prompted Japan to draw on its oil reserves. Tokyo has also faced pressure from former President Donald Trump to help secure the strait. Earlier this week, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with Trump in Washington, where she explained the legal limits on Japan’s participation in such efforts. She also highlighted areas of agreement between the two sides, including a pledge to boost oil imports from the U.S. and cooperate on missile development. (Jinshi)

GameFi Market Cap currently stands at $45.15 billion, with FLOKI ranking first

On March 21, Coingecko data shows the GameFi sector has a total market cap of $45.15 billion. FLOKI leads with a $2.86 billion market cap, followed by The Sandbox ($2.18 billion) and Undeads Games ($2.11 billion) in the top three spots. Earlier, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu noted blockchain games “will not make a comeback.” She argued the sector once eyed driving Web3 and metaverse growth via on-chain assets and open worlds, but actual outcomes have fallen well short of expectations. Market analysts point out blockchain games have long leaned on “Play-to-Earn” and other token incentive structures, yet lack the gameplay and content creation that actually draw core players—resulting in weak user retention and ecosystem sustainability. Firms like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Framework Ventures, and Animoca Brands have poured billions into the space, but returns have been underwhelming.

Solana Foundation Chair: Play-to-Earn has "died," Industry's Billions of Dollars Investment Could be One of the Worst Bets

On March 21, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu stated that the blockchain gaming industry "will not recover." She noted that while the sector once aimed to fuel Web3 and the metaverse via on-chain assets and open worlds, real-world performance has fallen far short of expectations. Solana was once seen as one of the most promising public blockchains for large-scale blockchain games, thanks to its high performance and low-cost support for real-time interactions. Projects like Star Atlas and Stepn gained early attention, but the broader GameFi space has been in steady decline since its 2021 peak. Market analysts point out that blockchain games have long relied on "Play-to-Earn" and other token incentive models—but they lack the gameplay depth and content to attract core gamers, leading to weak user retention and unsustainable ecosystems. Firms including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Framework Ventures, and Animoca Brands have poured billions into the sector, with meager returns to show

**March 21st — Spot gold dropped below $4,500 an ounce Wednesday, with an intraday decline of over 3%, while spot silver tumbled nearly 7% intraday to last trade at $67.845 an ounce, per Bitget market data.** **On the news front, the selloff came as the U.S. dollar strengthened and reports surfaced that the U.S. has detailed plans to deploy ground troops in Iraq — stoking market fears of higher oil prices, inflation, and subsequent interest rate hikes.** **Independent precious metals trader Tai Wong noted: “Gold and silver are being dragged lower as market concerns mount ahead of the weekend. After a sharp pullback this week driven by rate hike worries, precious metals are particularly volatile. Prices are expected to consolidate soon, but the process will be full of twists and turns.”** **Top global brokerages see rising odds of rate hikes from the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of England (BoE), possibly as soon as April. The Federal Reserve held rates steady Wednesday
