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 Dismisses Slowdown Concerns, States Consumer and Enterprise Business Operating at "Full Throttle"

April 29 – OpenAI pushed back against sales growth concerns Tuesday, dismissing a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report as "classic clickbait." Bloomberg noted the AI firm rejected worries over missed internal targets, saying its consumer and enterprise divisions are "operating at full tilt." Commercial client demand and its nascent ad business are growing, OpenAI added, with the company calling internal morale "extremely positive." Earlier Monday, WSJ reported OpenAI missed several internal goals amid rival competition—something OpenAI brushed off as misleading. Shares of OpenAI investors/partners—SoftBank Group, Oracle, CoreWeave among them—dropped Tuesday. WSJ also reported OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has warned slower sales growth could leave the firm unable to fund future computing needs. The stock declines underscore OpenAI’s central role in a tangled web of investments and deals with top cloud providers and chipmakers. Investors have previously flagged an AI infrastructure bubble, g

NVIDIA Launches Nemotron3 Nano Omni Model: Unified Processing of Video, Audio, Images, and Text to Boost Multimodal Inferencing Efficiency

April 29: NVIDIA officially launched Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, the latest addition to its Nemotron 3 series. The model integrates unified multimodal reasoning into a single, efficient open-source system. NVIDIA explains that agentic systems typically need a single perception-to-action loop spanning screens, documents, audio, video, and text—but they still rely on fragmented model chains: separate visual, audio, and text technology stacks. This boosts reasoning hops and orchestration complexity, driving up costs while eroding cross-modal contextual consistency. Nemotron 3 Nano Omni is designed to replace this fragmented visual-language-audio (VLA) stack, serving as a multimodal perception and context sub-agent within agentic systems. On accuracy, the model topped the document intelligence leaderboard and led in video and audio understanding rankings. Against the open industry benchmark MediaPerf for video understanding, it delivered the highest throughput across all tasks and the lowe
