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.

Steak'n Shake Purchases $10 Million in Bitcoin, Advances Corporate BTC Treasury Strategy

On January 17, U.S. fast-food chain Steak 'n Shake announced it allocated $10 million to Bitcoin this week, formally adding BTC to its balance sheet. The move builds on its crypto-friendly push over the past eight months, during which all U.S. locations began accepting Bitcoin payments. The company framed the decision as part of a "self-reinforcing loop": Consumer adoption of Bitcoin payments boosts sales, and related revenue is reinvested into its Bitcoin reserves (SBR) to fund operational investments—like ingredient upgrades and store renovations—without raising menu prices. Since May 2025, Steak 'n Shake has accepted Bitcoin at all U.S. stores via the Lightning Network, targeting lower credit card transaction fees and younger, crypto-native customers. It reported Q2 2025 same-store sales rose more than 10% year-over-year, with Bitcoin payments cutting processing costs by roughly 50%. The latest purchase equals ~105 BTC (at current prices), marking Steak 'n Shake’s most dire

Trump Signals Fed Personnel Change, Bitcoin Rally Disrupted, Market Reassesses 2026 Rate Cut Expectation

On January 17, 2026—with Bitcoin prices nearing $100,000 early that year—U.S. President Trump’s latest remarks on the Federal Reserve Chair nominee were viewed by markets as a potential "price inflection point." Per Reuters, Trump recently told reporters at the White House that while White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett was widely expected to replace current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, he “leans more toward keeping Hassett in his current role” and views a potential reassignment as a “serious concern.” The comment quickly cooled market expectations that Hassett would take the Fed’s top job. As a result, Hassett’s projected win probability on prediction platform Polymarket plummeted, while that of his top rival—former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh—jumped to nearly 60%. Market analysts note that Hassett is viewed as the more dovish candidate: his Fed Chairmanship would likely boost expectations of 2026 rate cuts, supporting Bitcoin and risk assets. Warsh, by contrast, is more hawki
