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.

Blackstone's President refutes AI bubble theory: demand is growing "parabolically", fundamentally different from the 1990s telecom bubble.

Amid growing AI bubble concerns on Wall Street, Blackstone President Jon Gray offered a contrasting view. He noted that current AI infrastructure development differs fundamentally from the 1990s telecom bubble, when companies typically expanded capacity en masse before waiting for demand to materialize, whereas today firms are building infrastructure to keep pace with already surging real demand. Gray described current AI demand as "parabolic growth" and revealed that Ode, an AI advisory venture co-founded by Blackstone and Anthropic, is currently even unable to meet client demand. This stands in stark contrast to the bearish view of Citadel founder Ken Griffin, who said days ago that "we are almost certainly in an AI bubble." Blackstone is positioning AI as a core investment focus, with its data center investments already totaling around $200 billion, and is deploying capital broadly into power, transmission facilities and other supporting infrastructure. However, Gray also acknowledged that even with real demand, not every investment will deliver ideal returns. Some AI-focused cloud service providers, such as CoreWeave, are currently facing financing difficulties despite solid core business performance. Gray pointed out that data center construction requires massive upfront investment, and investors must weigh whether future cash flows can cover financing costs, as well as the risk of asset depreciation from technological iteration. The current bubble debate essentially boils down to testing whether AI’s explosive demand can ultimately translate into sustainable commercial returns that cover high costs.
