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.

BTC: Bitcoin Holds Steady Above $80,000, US CPI Data and CLARITY Act Deliberation on the Horizon

On May 11, QCP issued a statement noting that key U.S. inflation data—including CPI, PPI, and retail sales—will be released this week. The market is focused on whether inflation is stabilizing rather than reaccelerating. Stable inflation figures could support expectations for looser financial conditions, which would likely push real yields lower. Historically, this dynamic has buoyed the crypto market. Conversely, persistent inflation would reinforce expectations of ongoing policy tightening, weighing on risk assets. Notably, Bitcoin has held steady above $80,000 despite net outflows from spot ETFs last Thursday and Friday, as well as market concerns over Michael Saylor’s comments related to Bitcoin sales. This price resilience is viewed as constructive. Additionally, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee plans to take up the “CLARITY Act” this week. While this is a procedural step rather than a final vote, it marks an important signal of legislative progress. Any forward movement

Cryptocurrency Bank Augustus Receives US OCC National Bank Charter, Plans to Revamp Cross-Border Settlement System with AI and Stablecoins

May 11 — Augustus Corporation announced today it has secured a national bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), making it the eighth institution to receive such a charter since 2010. Previously, the company held a European banking license for cross-border euro transactions, serving clients including major financial firm Kraken—with the firm seeing tenfold annual growth. Augustus has raised $40 million in funding from investors including Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures, Creandum, and founders of Ramp, Deel, Circle, and other prominent digital financial firms. Unlike “light” licenses (e.g., traditional trust charters), Augustus’ formal banking charter allows it to accept customer deposits and access a master account at the Federal Reserve. Augustus CEO Dabitz—a 25-year-old Thiel Fellowship recipient—said the legacy clearing system, which relies on correspondent banks, is slow and error-prone. The firm plans to build a new code-based settlement system tha
