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.

Aave Founder Defends $8.45 Billion Liquidation, V4 Upgrade to Revamp Risk Management System

June 8. This April, KelpDAO—a LayerZero-based cross-chain bridge—was hit by a $292 million exploit, sparking an $8.45 billion deposit run on DeFi lending protocol Aave within 48 hours. Amid mounting external scrutiny of the protocol’s risk controls, Aave founder and CEO Stani Kulechov argued the incident actually proved Aave’s “resilience.” Speaking at the Paris Proof of Talk conference, Kulechov noted Aave V3 has weathered multiple market cycles and stayed stable even in extreme conditions. He attributed recent DeFi security breaches to third-party infrastructure flaws rather than vulnerabilities in Aave’s own smart contracts. But risk analysis firm LlamaRisk explained the attacker exploited a KelpDAO vulnerability to mint valueless collateral, deposited it on Aave to siphon off real wETH, leading to roughly $1.237 billion in defaults for Aave V3. To resolve the crisis, the Aave DAO swiftly transferred 25,000 ETH, with Kulechov personally contributing an extra 5,000 ETH—totaling a ~

Investment in FTX Goes to Zero, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Hits Jackpot with SpaceX, Post-IPO Holdings Could Soar to $11.6 Billion

On June 8, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) in Canada is poised to earn massive returns from SpaceX’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO). The pension fund deployed roughly $220 million into SpaceX in 2019, when the aerospace firm was valued between $33 billion and $36 billion. If SpaceX goes public as planned at $135 per share, hitting a $1.75 trillion valuation, OTPP’s stake in the company would surge to around $11.6 billion, delivering an unrealized gain of over $11 billion. As of the end of 2025, OTPP manages approximately $279.4 billion in assets, covering 346,000 active and retired teachers. The fund’s chief investment officer, Gillian Brown, has stated the IPO does not necessarily mark an exit point; OTPP may hold onto its shares after SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI to watch whether the company can enter a new growth cycle. A notable detail: OTPP invested about $95 million in FTX in 2022, a position it fully impaired after the crypto exchange collapsed. Even with tha

Is the AI Bull Market's Real Challenger the Fed? Wall Street Warns Rate Hike Will Be Market's Biggest Test

June 8 — Robust May U.S. non-farm payroll data has fueled Federal Reserve rate hike bets, and Wall Street is warning the current AI-driven bull market could get taken down not by deteriorating fundamentals, but by soaring funding costs. On Friday, U.S. employers added 172,000 jobs in May, far exceeding market forecasts. That triggered bets the Fed will raise interest rates later this year, sparking a sharp tech selloff: The Nasdaq Composite tumbled more than 4% in one session, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged 10% — its largest single-day drop since 2020. All told, U.S. equities erased roughly $2 trillion in total market value that day. Multiple risk gauges are also flashing red. Goldman Sachs projects that combined AI capital spending from Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet will hit $5.3 trillion between 2025 and 2030.

Storage Sector Surges, Micron Technology Up Over 10%, Pat Gelsinger States Shortage of Memory Chips Will Persist for Years

June 8 – U.S. storage semiconductor stocks rallied sharply, according to market data from crypto exchange Bitget. Micron Technology (MU) led the group with a 10.24% gain, followed by SanDisk (SNDK) rising 7.28%, Western Digital (WDC) adding 3.45%, and Seagate Technology (STX) climbing 4.82%. In the tokenized crypto contract market, SK Hynix’s perpetual contracts surged 4.65% in the past 24 hours, while Samsung’s perpetual contracts jumped 5.44% over the same period. The positive momentum ties to key news from June 7: During his visit to Seoul, South Korea, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that the tight global supply of memory chips will persist for several years. The shortage spans the entire supply chain—from upstream wafer manufacturing and advanced packaging to silicon photonics modules—where demand consistently outstrips supply. Huang attributed the deficit to sustained, unabated high demand for AI-related applications, with no signs of easing.
