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.

Google's earnings preview sparks widespread discussion: Alphabet could become the first large tech company to cut AI capital expenditures

Finance professor and CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) Damir Tokic recently published a "Google Earnings Preview" on U.S. investment platform Seeking Alpha, sparking heated discussion among U.S. stock market investors. The article claims that Google’s parent company Alphabet may become the first large tech firm to cut AI-related capital expenditures. Alphabet will hold its Q2 2026 earnings call at 16:30 ET on July 22, corresponding to 04:30 Beijing Time on July 23. Per Alphabet’s investor relations announcement, relevant earnings materials will be released ahead of the call. The market expects AI infrastructure spending, Google Cloud growth, and free cash flow performance to be the core focuses of this report. Tokic points out in the article that Alphabet has been ramping up AI investments in recent years, including data centers, servers, and cloud infrastructure construction. However, this expansion has put pressure on cash flow. If AI-related revenue fails to quickly cover capital expenditures, the company may need to rely on debt or equity financing to support its investments in the future, triggering concerns about credit risk and shareholder dilution. The article also notes that while Google Cloud remains growing at a solid pace, its backlog order growth has shown signs of slowing, which could dampen market optimism about demand for AI cloud services. Meanwhile, new products like AI search, chatbots, and AI Overview are changing how users access information, which could impact Google’s core profit source—search ads—in the long run. Tokic argues that if the upcoming earnings report fails to demonstrate that AI investments are generating sufficient returns, Alphabet’s capital expenditure plan may face reassessment, and its stock price could come under pressure. For investors, this earnings report is not only relevant to Alphabet’s own performance but could also serve as an important signal for tracking the AI investment cycle among large tech companies.
