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.

The White House plans to host a meeting with artificial intelligence companies on Tuesday to review AI frameworks.

According to a report from The Information, five people familiar with the matter revealed that the Trump administration invited employees from multiple tech firms including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to the White House on Tuesday to review the finalized AI regulatory framework. The framework will establish a voluntary process for AI labs, requiring them to submit their models to the government for review before releasing them to partners and the public. The scheduled meeting takes place several days after the August 1 deadline set by an executive order in early June for the framework’s completion. One source said the meeting will be hosted by the Office of the National Cyber Director, an executive branch agency, adding that the invitation explicitly notes the session will discuss next steps for the framework and an unspecified related activity. Two sources added that the meeting is expected to feature staff-level representatives from each company, not executives, as the gathering is not intended to be a public launch of the new framework.

South Korea’s move to raise margin requirements for leveraged ETFs is taking effect, as trading volume of single-stock leveraged products has fallen to one-tenth of their peak levels.

After South Korea raised margin requirements for single-stock leveraged ETF investors, trading activity in related products has dropped significantly, with transaction volumes falling to roughly one-tenth of their previous peak levels. Data from the Korea Exchange shows that the combined transaction volume of 16 single-stock leveraged and inverse ETFs linked to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix on South Korea’s KOSPI market reached 1.2388 trillion won in the two trading days following the new measure’s implementation, a 58.6% decrease from the 2.9907 trillion won recorded on July 31, the day the rule took effect. Earlier, South Korean regulators lifted the minimum cash margin requirement for single-stock leveraged ETF investors from 10 million won to 30 million won. Compared with the 12.4485 trillion won in transaction volume on the last trading day before the rule’s implementation (July 30), the current trading size of these products has fallen to roughly one-tenth. The cooling of retail investor enthusiasm is particularly evident. Data indicates that retail investors’ transaction volume in single-stock leveraged and inverse products dropped to 250.7 billion won, less than a quarter of the 929.9 billion won on July 31. Analysts noted that the raised margin thresholds have initially curbed speculative capital inflows, and the trading pattern where retail investors continuously bought leveraged products during declines in underlying stocks is shifting.
