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.

Eric Trump: AI will become the fastest driver of growth for the crypto industry, and capital will continue to rotate between the two sectors.

According to Bloomberg, Eric Trump, the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, told attendees at Singapore’s Token2049 conference that large-scale investments in AI will ultimately become the fastest driver of growth for digital assets. Citing an example of AI agents booking vacations, he said such agents would use crypto wallets instead of fiat currencies for transactions, adding that the faster AI integrates into daily life, the faster the crypto industry will expand. Eric noted that Bitcoin has recently rebounded above $80,000, a sign that capital is flowing back to the crypto market from AI investments, and he believes funds will continue to rotate between AI and crypto assets. Additionally, he said the growth of dollar-backed stablecoins could boost demand for U.S. Treasuries. He also emphasized the "public welfare" value of asset tokenization, arguing that tokenizing high-end real estate, artworks, and music royalties would allow a broader public to invest in assets that were previously mainly accessible to wealthy investors. When discussing banks, he said financial institutions had previously tried to hinder the development of digital assets, but now they are racing to adopt crypto technologies.

Hacker who stole nearly $55 million from Uranium Finance found guilty, faces up to 20 years in prison.

According to Bloomberg, cybersecurity consultant Jonathan Spalletta has been found guilty by a New York jury in connection with the theft of nearly $55 million from crypto trading platform Uranium Finance. Prosecutors alleged he carried out two attacks in 2021, which led to the platform’s shutdown following the fund theft. The jury reached its verdict after over two hours of deliberation. Spalletta faces up to 20 years in prison on money laundering charges tied to his use of crypto mixing services such as Tornado Cash. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff scheduled a sentencing date for February 16. Law enforcement seized more than $3 million worth of rare Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards, plus approximately $31 million in crypto assets from his Maryland residence. Prosecutors further stated that he spent over $600,000 on an ancient Roman coin commemorating the assassination of Julius Caesar, and $137,000 on an original Wright Brothers aircraft component that had been taken to the moon by Neil Armstrong. His defense counsel argued that he only used publicly available functions within smart contracts, rather than forging credentials or deploying malicious code, and thus did not commit hacking.

Chair of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee: SEC and CFTC’s crypto regulatory actions remain insufficient, and he hopes the CLARITY Act will be passed after the midterm elections.

U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill stated that while the SEC and CFTC have taken steps to advance crypto regulation, these actions still fall short of the long-term stability congressional legislation can deliver. After the Senate failed to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act last month, the two regulators unveiled related rulemaking plans, but Hill argues permanent legislative changes are still needed to ensure the U.S. retains its leadership in digital assets and blockchain technology. In an interview with Fox Business, Hill said he remains hopeful Congress will pass the CLARITY Act during the post-midterm election lame-duck session. Between the November election and the swearing-in of the new 2027 Congress, the Senate will only have 22 legislative days. Election results could sway lawmakers’ voting stances on the bill. The two regulators currently have a combined seven vacant commissioner seats: after Hester Peirce announced her resignation last week, the SEC is left with only Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda, while CFTC Chairman Michael Selig is the agency’s sole serving commissioner.

Escalating tensions in the Middle East boost safe-haven demand, with the US Dollar Index approaching its year-to-date high.

Against the backdrop of rising oil prices and further escalating tensions in the Middle East, investors flocked to safe-haven assets, leading to a notable strengthening of the U.S. dollar on Wednesday. Following an increase in Iranian attacks targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) rose as much as 0.5%, moving in lockstep with oil prices and now approaching its year-to-date high. Among G10 currencies, nearly all have fallen against the U.S. dollar, with the euro posting the weakest performance, underperforming other major currencies. Catherine Brooks, head of research at XTB, said in a report: "The U.S. dollar is acting as a counter-cyclical asset, attracting safe-haven inflows as other asset classes are sold off." (Jinshi)
