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.

Middle East Situation Tracker: US and Iran to Continue Talks, Iranian Foreign Minister to Visit Oman on Saturday to Discuss Hormuz Strait Issues

Tensions in the Middle East remain high. U.S. President Donald Trump said he has agreed to continue negotiations with Iran, but the temporary ceasefire has ended. The U.S. has demanded Iran commit to halting attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz by Saturday, adding it will continue strikes on Iran if necessary. Iran responded that it has never put forward a negotiation demand with the U.S., but agreed to allow mediators to visit the country. Iran’s parliamentary speaker stated that Iran will not surrender and will adopt comprehensive defense measures if the U.S. "breaks its trust". Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will lead a delegation to Oman on Saturday for talks on the Strait of Hormuz issue and bilateral relations. Additionally, sources said the U.S., Iran, Pakistan, and Qatar may hold a four-way call, with a Qatari envoy already arriving in Iran for emergency mediation. Israeli sources said Trump currently does not want Israel to join direct combat to avoid further escalation of tensions, but other reports indicate Israel still intends to participate in strikes on Iran and is waiting for the U.S. side’s position. Meanwhile, the U.S. announced a new round of sanctions targeting financial backers linked to Mojtaba and Iran’s currency exchange networks. France called on Iran to immediately and unconditionally open the Strait of Hormuz and allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect relevant nuclear facilities.

Serenity: OpenAI's network optimization will not weaken demand for optical modules, and AI computing power expansion will continue to drive growth in optical communications.

Serenity issued a statement addressing recent discussions about OpenAI’s MRC network architecture optimization and Amazon (AMZN)’s RNG architecture potentially leading to a drop in optical module demand. The firm maintains that even if the number of optical modules needed per XPU decreases, the rapid expansion of AI computing power will continue to drive sustained growth in overall optical communications demand. Serenity notes that with a significant increase in XPU deployments, total optical module demand is still projected to rise. On CPO (Co-packaged Optics) laser solutions, it holds that VCSELs are better suited as a transitional technology for NPO (Near-packaged Optics) and short-range interconnection stages, while long-term, ultra-high-power continuous wave (UHP CW) lasers will be the superior choice for CPO—a view aligned with Broadcom’s prior public remarks.

Unusual activity on Tether’s Bitcoin reserve address: 4 BTC transferred out, Q2 accumulation reportedly suspended.

According to monitoring by EmberCN, Tether allocates 15% of its quarterly profits to its Bitcoin reserve address. Approximately 5 hours ago, this address made a test transfer of 4 BTC to Binance, valued at roughly $250,000. EmberCN stated that this same address previously transferred 204.3 BTC to Bitfinex a month ago, worth approximately $14.36 million at the time, when Bitcoin’s price stood at around $70,000. It remains unclear whether these assets have been sold. Additionally, Tether appears to have not yet completed the on-chain withdrawal of new Bitcoin for Q2 2026. Per its usual practice, Tether typically transfers BTC purchased in the quarter to its reserve address on the last day of each quarter. However, more than 10 days have elapsed since the end of Q2, and no new Bitcoin deposits to this reserve address have been observed on-chain, sparking market concerns over whether it has adjusted its Bitcoin accumulation pace.
