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 Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement regarding the ongoing US violation of the ceasefire

June 6 – Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement strongly condemning U.S. military strikes targeting radar and coastal surveillance facilities in Iran’s Sirik region and Qeshm Island. The statement labeled the attacks a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire agreement and a deliberate act of military aggression against Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Tehran’s foreign ministry noted that repeated U.S. violations of the ceasefire further confirm Washington is not only refusing to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the region, but is instead recklessly endangering regional security with its actions. The U.S. government will bear full responsibility for all consequences arising from these moves and any potential escalation of the situation. The ministry reaffirmed Iran’s inherent right to self-defense, adding that Iran is ready to deploy all its capabilities and resources to protect its national sovereignty, security and interests.

US Stock Market Volatility Index Soars, Semiconductor Stocks Experience Rapid Two-Month Surge Halted

June 6: The semiconductor sector faced a sharp pullback, pushing the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) — Wall Street’s well-known “fear gauge” — up nearly 40% in one day, its largest single-day gain since March. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) fell almost 10% intraday, ending a two-month rally that had lifted it by roughly 80%. Friday’s trading saw a record 7.8 million contracts traded in S&P 500 options, a 16% increase from the prior April high. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield rose on strong nonfarm payroll data, sparking a big jump in demand for put options on long-term Treasury ETFs (TLT) as well as investment-grade and high-yield bond ETFs. Brent Kochuba, founder of options analysis platform SpotGamma, pointed out that the recent abnormally high premium of single-stock options relative to index options is adjusting, signaling overheated chip stocks need a cool-down. Danny Kirsch, head of options at Piper Sandler, added that a large amount of leveraged ETF funds are concentrate

「Stock God」 Serenity: Bullish on Semiconductor Foundry XFAB, European CPO Strategy May Be Market Undervalued

June 6 — The so-called "Stock God" Serenity shared in a post that they’re bullish on semiconductor foundry XFAB (also known as PhotonixFAB), arguing the company has what it takes to become the next early-stage TSEM (Tower Semiconductor). Right now, its market cap sits around $1.4 billion — a valuation that doesn’t yet account for its long-term upside in the Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) space. Serenity noted XFAB is gearing up for a major commercial turning point in CPO by the second half of 2027, leveraging technologies like Mask Transfer Printing (MTP) and Thin Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN). ASX filings also list PhotonixFAB as a key player in the CPO segment. They added that NVIDIA is currently testing XFAB’s transceiver and switch solutions to verify if they’re feasible for mass production, with Nokia handling the associated specification development and assembly. If the European supply chain — including Smartphotonics — works as planned, XFAB could land long-term orders from NVIDIA, fo

Tether Appoints Independent Director to Twenty One Capital Board, Restoring Full Audit Committee Structure

On June 6, stablecoin issuer Tether announced it has appointed a new independent director to the board of Bitcoin reserve firm Twenty One Capital (XXI) to fill an open audit committee seat. The company confirmed the appointment meets independence standards laid out by the U.S. SEC’s Rule 10A-3 and NYSE listing requirements. The vacancy emerged after Tether acquired SoftBank Group’s stake in XXI on May 20. Once their shared governance agreement ended, all SoftBank-nominated directors resigned—including one audit committee member. Twenty One Capital currently holds over 43,500 Bitcoins and operates as a vertically integrated Bitcoin company, with business lines spanning mining, asset reserves, capital markets, and financial services. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino noted XXI is building what will be one of the world’s leading Bitcoin enterprises. “Our top priority here is ensuring the board has an independent oversight framework compliant with SEC and NYSE rules, to match the strength of it

The U.S. House of Representatives Passes Resolution Limiting Trump's Military Action Against Iran, But It Is Not Legally Binding

WASHINGTON, June 6 — The U.S. House of Representatives passed a war powers resolution this week, with 215 votes in favor and 208 against, that demands President Trump halt military actions against Iran conducted without congressional approval. Four Republican lawmakers crossed party lines to join Democrats in advancing the measure. Even though the House cleared the resolution, it is a concurrent resolution — a type that, even if approved by the Senate, carries no legal force, leaving Trump under no obligation to abide by its terms. White House officials have labeled such concurrent resolutions inherently unconstitutional, stating Trump will continue acting under his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief. Trump later posted on Truth Social to characterize the vote as “meaningless,” accusing Democratic supporters of the resolution and the four GOP defectors of seeking to undermine his authority during Iran war negotiations. Per standard procedure, the House-passed resol

Trump Criticizes Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal Again, Experts Say It Once Effectively Restricted Iran's Nuclear Program

WASHINGTON, June 6 — Former U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in a recent interview, calling the agreement "almost equivalent to giving Iran a nuclear weapon." He added that any future U.S.-Iran nuclear deal would be "far superior to the Obama-era agreement." However, several U.S. non-proliferation experts point out that while the JCPOA was not flawless, it successfully constrained Iran’s uranium enrichment activities and established the strictest international nuclear inspection mechanism to date. Ernest Moniz, former U.S. Secretary of Energy, noted that the agreement’s most significant achievement was a major boost in transparency, granting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unprecedented oversight of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Reports indicate that after the Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, Iran gradually breached the pact’s restrictions, significantly expanding its enriched uranium stockpile and
