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.

Michael Saylor Explains Strategy Behind Two Key Bitcoin Metrics: BPS Is a Growth Story, CEBE BPS Is Real Risk Exposure

On June 14, Michael Saylor published a post clarifying two key per-share Bitcoin metrics tied to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings, breaking down their differences in a way tailored for investors. BPS, short for Bitcoin Per Share, measures the amount of Bitcoin linked to common shares before accounting for senior debt—an optimistic metric that shows how quickly per-share equity accumulates when the company acquires Bitcoin via debt or equity issuances. BTC Yield, for its part, tracks the effectiveness of this strategy by relying on BPS as its core basis. CEBE BPS, by contrast, is the actual per-share Bitcoin exposure accessible to common shareholders after deducting all senior obligations (including term debt, convertible bonds, preferred stock, and so on)—a more conservative risk indicator. Saylor noted that the relative importance of these two metrics depends on MicroStrategy’s liability maturity schedule: Shorter-dated debt makes CEBE BPS far more critical, as it directly re

The AI Boom is Fueling Tech Inflation, Rewriting a Two-Decade History of Tech Products Only Getting Cheaper

June 14: AI is Driving a US Inflation Surge In May, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for computer software and accessories jumped 14.5% year-over-year—the largest annual increase since official records began in 2000. Producer prices for electronic components, meanwhile, skyrocketed 27% last month, hitting an all-time high for that metric. This marks a sharp reversal from prior years: before 2026, prices for both software and electronic components had declined almost annually. Memory costs have seen some of the steepest gains, rising more than 100% over the past year alone. DDR5 and DDR4 memory prices in particular surged 290% year-over-year. The core driver of this price spike is the AI boom: global data centers powering artificial intelligence projects have absorbed the vast majority of the world’s available chip supply, crimping stock and driving up costs. This jump in memory prices could keep U.S. inflation elevated through all of 2027, adding to existing economic strains

A Single On-Chain Settlement of 4.397 Billion USDC: Instant Confirmation, Zero Fees Trigger Debate on Traditional Centralized Trading Models

On June 14, tech observer Aakash Gupta reported that Coinbase processed a transfer of roughly $43.97 billion in USDC via HyperEVM. The funds settled in a single block, confirmed in seconds, with zero on-chain transaction fees. The transferred USDC, issued by Circle, was deployed to the Hyperliquid ecosystem to support its derivatives market margin and settlement system. The transaction underscores the efficiency advantage of on-chain infrastructure for large-value fund transfers: finalizing funds with on-chain finality eliminates the need for traditional banking clearing processes or inter-institutional reconciliation, with costs near zero. By contrast, funds of this scale in traditional centralized exchange (CEX) systems typically require multi-layer custody, internal ledger transfers, and risk control workflows. Analysts believe that such "instant large-value settlements" are strengthening the narrative that on-chain exchanges can serve as alternatives to the CEX clearing layer—par
