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.

Uniswap founder: SBF spent seven figures to purchase the Uniswap.com domain name and redirected it to a fork project.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted this morning that the original holder of Uniswap.com once demanded a seven-figure sum for the domain, but the Uniswap team declined to pay. Subsequently, SBF purchased the domain for a seven-figure amount and directed it to a Uniswap fork project. Adams noted that the subsequent malicious use of the domain served as the basis for Uniswap’s legal team to ultimately acquire the domain for free, though he did not disclose specific legal procedures or the exact transaction timeline.

Trump administration plans to relax audit rules for listed companies, potentially costing the Big Four accounting firms $400 million in fees.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is proposing to relax internal control audit requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a move that could cost U.S. accounting firms over $4 billion annually in related fees. According to the SEC’s May proposal, public companies with a public float market capitalization below $2 billion will no longer need an auditor’s attestation on internal financial controls—up from the current $700 million threshold. Additionally, newly listed companies, regardless of size, will be exempt from this requirement for their first five years post-IPO. The SEC estimates the change will exempt roughly 1,700 companies, or 27% of all listed firms, from auditor attestation. A prior U.S. Government Accountability Office analysis found that after companies meet the current threshold and begin undergoing auditor internal control attestation, median audit fees rise by approximately 13%. Data from Ideagen Audit Analytics shows that companies potentially eligible for the exemption paid around $3.8 billion in audit fees last year, translating to an estimated $4.3 billion in related revenue for accounting firms. The Big Four accounting firms—EY, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG—have all opposed the relaxed rules, arguing that even if independent attestation is scrapped, some internal control tests will still be required in regular audits, meaning actual cost savings for companies may be lower than expected. Investor groups have also raised concerns about the full five-year exemption for newly listed firms. SEC Chair Paul Atkins is advancing a series of deregulatory measures, including cuts to quarterly reporting requirements, and positions these reforms as part of efforts to reduce listing costs and encourage more companies to go public via IPOs.
