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.

US Official: Trump Was Like a 'Rabid Dog,' Defense Secretary and Secretary of State Were More Like Doves Compared to Him

On April 7, a U.S. source with multiple recent conversations with Trump told Axios that Trump could be the most hawkish member of his senior team on Iran. Another U.S. official slammed Trump as "the most bloodthirsty—like a mad dog" and downplayed claims that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or Secretary of State Marco Rubio are goading him, adding: "Compared to the president, those guys all sound like doves." Trump has started floating ideas to advisers and confidants about targeting power plants and bridges, asking: "What do you think of the 'Infrastructure Day' idea?" BlockBeats previously reported that Trump publicly labeled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth a "war starter."

South Korean Regulatory New Rule Requires Crypto Exchanges to Verify Asset Holdings Every 5 Minutes

On April 7, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) ordered all cryptocurrency exchanges to reconcile their internal ledgers with actual asset holdings every five minutes—this after uncovering internal control vulnerabilities at several major platforms. The regulatory action stemmed from a February incident at Bithumb: the exchange mistakenly distributed 620,000 bitcoins to 249 users during a promotion. Ninety-nine point seven percent of the funds were recovered the same day, while the remaining 0.3% (1,788 BTC) was covered by Bithumb’s reserves. An FSC inspection further revealed that three of South Korea’s top five exchanges only reconciled ledgers once every 24 hours, limiting their ability to quickly respond to discrepancies. Additionally, these exchanges’ systems for suspending trading during major ledger mismatches were found inadequate.
