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.

Trump Calls for 'Deep Negotiation' with Iran, Once Came Close to Direct Talks

April 5th — Axios reports that in a phone interview, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is in “deep negotiations” with Iran and expects a deal before Tuesday’s deadline. “There’s a great opportunity to reach an agreement, but if they don’t, I will destroy everything there,” Trump stated. When asked about harm to innocent civilians, he said he believes Iranian civilians opposed to the government would support such strikes to weaken the regime. In the roughly 8-minute call, Trump also noted his envoys Weedkov and Jared Kushner are engaged in intense talks with Iran. Two sources familiar with the negotiations said communications have happened via intermediaries like Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, plus text exchanges between Trump’s advisors and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif. Trump said the talks are progressing well but that closing deals with Iranians is always challenging. A few days ago, the sides were close to agreeing to direct negotiations but planned to reconvene in f

On April 5 (local time), the Islamic Republic of Iran’s military issued Announcement No. 56, stating it took decisive military action earlier that day in response to "misdeeds" by the U.S. and Israel—following its air defense system’s successful interception of enemy drones earlier. The announcement noted the Iranian military deployed a drone swarm to accurately target: - Israeli petrochemical facilities and oil product storage facilities near Dimona (where the region’s underground emergency fuel reserves are critical to southern Israel’s energy supply); - Equipment warehouses, satellite communication units, and U.S. military command headquarters at the American base on Bubiyan Island, Kuwait.

On controlling the Strait of Hormuz, Tabatabaei stated the waterway will only fully reopen if a new legal system is established and Iran is compensated for all losses from past wars using revenue from past ship taxes. Separately, CNN reports details are emerging of “potential plans” discussed between Oman and Iran regarding resuming transit rights in the Strait of Hormuz.
