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.

Citi forecasts that the Bank of Korea will raise interest rates next week, adding 25 basis points each quarter in the second half of the year.

Citi economist Jin-Wook Kim stated that after the Bank of Korea (BOK) raises its benchmark interest rate from 2.50% to 2.75% at next week’s policy meeting, it may signal a gradual pace of interest rate hikes. He expects the BOK governor to hint at 25 basis point quarterly rate hikes starting in the second half of 2026, while maintaining a data-dependent stance for the first half of 2027 without providing specific guidance. Citi forecasts the BOK will hike rates in July and October this year, and again in January and April next year. Kim added that the BOK may also highlight upside risks to its 2026 growth forecast, citing upward revisions to first-quarter growth and resilient economic activity in the second quarter.

Block, the parent company of Cash App, has agreed to pay a $45 million settlement over allegations of false security promises.

Block, Inc., the parent company of Cash App, has agreed to pay $45 million to settle allegations from regulators in nearly all U.S. states. Regulators accused the firm of failing to adequately protect users from scams and making misleading statements about Cash App’s security. According to a Wednesday statement from the New York State Attorney General’s Office, Block—led by Jack Dorsey—claimed in marketing that Cash App offers security on par with traditional banks, leading users to believe their funds receive protection similar to bank deposits. Regulators further alleged that Block lacks a unified, effective fraud detection system and failed to provide a working customer service hotline for users to report fraud cases.
