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.

Advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader: If U.S. military continues its operations, Iran may shift to a full-scale offensive phase.

Advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Rezaei has stated that if the U.S. continues its attacks over the next two to three days, Iran will end its previous strategy of deterrence and proportional counterattacks, shift to a phase of "full-scale offensive and destruction", and may directly strike U.S. military bases and personnel outside American territory. He added that Iran’s prior restraint was aimed at preventing the spillover of regional conflicts, but U.S. "miscalculations" could drive the situation to escalate. Rezaei also called on regional countries and governments including Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and the UAE to stop the U.S. and Israel from expanding their operations, noting that the U.S. strategy of "pursuing war and negotiation in parallel" has failed, and Iran will intensify its counterattacks in the coming days.

Trump: June inflation brings 'good news', US ushers in 'golden age'

U.S. President Trump stated that June’s inflation data delivered exciting positive news: the monthly CPI saw its largest drop in six years. June’s CPI came in below the forecast of all 67 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. “Prices of various goods including gasoline, electricity, auto insurance, hotels, and prescription drugs have all declined. With strong wage growth and falling prices, real wages rose sharply by 0.8%. As investment continues to pour into the U.S., factory construction expands rapidly, manufacturing employment rises, and prices remain low, we have much to be proud of—the U.S. golden age has arrived!” TSMC announced it will invest an additional $100 billion in its semiconductor manufacturing facility in Arizona, bringing its total investment in U.S. plants to a record $265 billion. “My trade policies and trade agreements are delivering on every promise I made. From automobiles and pharmaceuticals to semiconductors and across the entire economy, the Trump administration is bringing advanced manufacturing back to the U.S. This is what success looks like! Mass hiring, large-scale construction, massive investment—welcome to the U.S. golden age; we invite everyone to build factories here.”
