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.

The US Service Sector Contracts for the First Time in Three Years

April 3rd — Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, noted that PMI survey data shows the U.S. economy is under pressure from rising prices and mounting uncertainty, with the Middle East conflict further amplifying concerns over recent policy moves. The service sector contracted for the first time since January 2023, pushing the overall economy to near-stagnation with a March annualized growth rate of just 0.5%. The consumer-facing services industry was hit hardest, posting one of its largest declines since 2009 (excluding lockdown periods). Previously strong financial services and tech sectors have shown signs of weakening amid market volatility and worries about higher interest rates. The main driver of slowing growth is reduced spending from weaker purchasing power, while March’s sharp energy price hike pushed up costs and selling prices significantly. Survey data suggests businesses are increasingly likely to pass those costs to custome

Market Analysis: Non-Farm Payroll Boost Eases Employment Market Concerns, Fed's Cautious Stance Expected to Continue

Apr 3. Jerry Tempelman, VP of Economic and Fixed Income Research at Mutual of America Capital Management, noted markets are zeroing in on the March non-farm payroll report to confirm labor market stability. Today’s 178,000 job additions have helped ease concerns, and the modest tick in the unemployment rate to 4.3% hasn’t warranted immediate focus. That said, the "low hiring, low firing" slowdown trend can’t be overlooked. Even with last month’s data being a surprise, the Fed’s decision to hold interest rates was fully in line with market expectations. This outcome underscores policymakers’ continued caution as they balance short-term economy-wide impacts with long-term stability. (Jin10)

ZachXBT Investigation Report: Circle Fails Compliance Multiple Times, Involved Amount Exceeds $420 Million

On-chain detective ZachXBT released an investigation report on Circle on April 3, 2026, alleging the firm has demonstrated lax compliance enforcement in multiple illicit fund incidents since 2022, with total illicit funds exceeding $4.2 billion. Circle, issuer of stablecoin USDC, has long been recognized for regulatory compliance and a robust compliance framework. Its token contract includes address freeze and blacklisting capabilities, and its terms of service explicitly reserve the right to restrict suspicious accounts. However, these mechanisms were not deployed timely or effectively in several major security breaches. The report specifically cites the April 1, 2026 Drift Protocol attack, where attackers stole approximately $2.8 billion in assets. Using Circle’s proprietary cross-chain bridge CCTP, the attacker transferred over 2.32 billion USDC from Solana to Ethereum within 6 hours—no assets were frozen during this window. Similar issues emerged in attacks on SwapNet, Cet
