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.

BTC/Gold Ratio Three-Month Uptrend Declared Over as Funds Rotate Back to Gold ETFs

On May 27, Bitcoin’s three-month uptrend relative to gold has clearly broken. The BTC/Gold ratio recently fell below a key upward trendline, signaling that investor fund preferences are shifting back to gold and other traditional safe-haven assets. Data shows that since March, the BTC/Gold ratio rose from around 12 to 18, reflecting a market that once favored Bitcoin as "digital gold." However, with this recent trend reversal, analysts believe gold may outperform Bitcoin in the short term. Fund flow data confirms this shift: over the past two weeks, cumulative outflows from U.S. Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $2 billion, while gold and precious metal ETFs attracted approximately $2.34 billion in net inflows for the week ending May 20. Analysts attribute this change to several factors: rising U.S. bond yields, growing expectations of "higher interest rates for longer," and continued turmoil in the Middle East. The market is reallocating to traditional hard assets, while Bitcoin’s narrat

Institutional Warning: Market Does Not Believe in Trump's "Peace Agreement," may lead to Prolonged Blockage of the Strait of Hormuz

May 27 — Piper Sandler’s latest report argues the market’s optimistic outlook for a U.S.-Iran deal is unfounded. The Strait of Hormuz may remain largely closed over the coming months, potentially pushing oil prices to new highs this summer. The firm said there’s little confidence shipping through the strait will bounce back to pre-tension levels anytime soon, adding ongoing supply tightness will continue driving energy prices higher. Meanwhile, recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets and Iran’s warning that transit through the strait “will come at a cost” have deepened market uncertainty. Dave Ernsberger, president of S&P Global Platts, noted the market is currently “too scared to take crude oil positions” due to extreme ambiguity around negotiations, strait access, and potential toll mechanisms. Reports also point to market concerns that Iran might impose a formal “passage fee” on oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz down the line. Though Iranian officials deny any such fe

Several crypto companies are expected to be included in the Russell Index, with Bitmine and Galaxy potentially joining the Russell 1000.

On May 27th, FTSE Russell unveiled the latest preliminary additions to its Russell 3000 Index, which include several crypto-related companies: Sharplink, Forward Industries, Gemini, Galaxy Digital, and Bitmine. Among these, Bitmine—an Ethereum reserve firm—and Galaxy Digital have market caps of roughly $5.7 billion and $11.55 billion respectively, meeting the eligibility thresholds for the Russell 1000 Index. Should their inclusion be finalized, the two companies will join major U.S. tech names including Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet. Additionally, Sharplink, Forward Industries, and Gemini are poised to enter the Russell 2000 Index.

Samsung's "AI Wealth Gap" Exposed: Chip Division Employees Receive an Average Bonus of $2.32 million, While Non-Chip Division Employees Receive Only $27,000

May 27. Employees at Samsung Electronics voted to approve a new compensation deal, heading off a planned 18-day mass strike. Around 74% of staff backed the proposal, sending Samsung’s stock price up 8% on the same day. Per the agreement, Samsung’s chip division workers will receive a fixed cash bonus equal to 50% of their annual salary, plus a 10.5% special bonus tied to the semiconductor unit’s profits—with some of this payout distributed in shares. Bloomberg estimates average bonuses for chip division employees will reach roughly 513 million South Korean won (approximately 2.32 million Chinese yuan), with some storage chip staff taking home as much as 600 million won. In contrast, non-chip business employees are earning an average bonus of just 6 million won (around 27,000 Chinese yuan), a gap that has sparked internal backlash over a roughly 100-fold difference in pay. Fueled by growing demand for AI infrastructure, Samsung’s semiconductor business has seen a sharp profit su
