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.

Predict.fun World Cup Semi-Final: England vs Argentina Showdown, England’s Probability of Advancing Reaches 53%

Data from prediction market platform Predict.fun shows that the 2026 FIFA World Cup (co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico) semi-final will pit England against Argentina. As of press time, the market gives England a roughly 53% chance of advancing, while Argentina holds a ~46% probability, with both sides’ odds being very close. Scheduled for the early morning of July 16 (Beijing time), this highly anticipated World Cup semi-final will revive the classic England-Argentina rivalry. In World Cup history, the two sides have faced off in five tournaments: 1962, 1966, 1986, 1998, and 2002, making this one of the most talked-about rivalries in the World Cup. Overall, England holds a slight edge in their head-to-head record, but the two have met three times in World Cup knockout rounds before: Argentina came out on top twice, while England’s only win in those matches came en route to its first-ever World Cup title. Both sides’ paths to the semi-final in this World Cup have also been full of tests. Argentina has gone to the wire in three consecutive knockout matches, beating Cape Verde, Egypt, and Switzerland in succession; England, meanwhile, has come from behind against DR Congo and Norway, and edged past Mexico, demonstrating strong ability to perform under pressure. This match is not only a key battle for Lionel Messi-led Argentina to defend its title, but also a crucial opportunity for England to return to the World Cup final for the first time in 60 years.
