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.

Institution: March Non-farm Payrolls Exceed Expectations, Showing Resilience in the US Employment Market, with Inflation Currently Being the Core Variable of Fed Monetary Policy

April 4: Huatai Securities notes that March’s stronger-than-expected non-farm payrolls rebound signals resilience in the U.S. labor market. However, amid the Middle East conflict, the impact of high oil prices on inflation expectations is more critical for Federal Reserve monetary policy. Recent escalation in the Middle East has driven a surge in oil prices and inflation expectations—rooted in the Strait of Hormuz blockade—creating an oil supply gap. Inflation remains a key variable in the Fed’s monetary policy decisions. The Fed’s dual mandate (employment and inflation) gives it maneuvering room, allowing it to avoid rate hikes aimed at taming inflation. But with inflation expectations rising, even if the Fed holds rates steady, the Treasury yield curve could shift upward, leading to substantial practical tightening. Source: FXStreet

Cambodia Introduces New Law to Combat Crypto Scams, with Up to 5 Years in Prison and Heavy Fines

April 4 — Cambodia’s Senate has unanimously passed new legislation targeting scam operations, with a focus on cracking down on cross-border cryptocurrency-related fraud. The bill cleared the Senate with 58 votes and is awaiting formal approval from the King. Under the new law, those involved in organized fraud face 2 to 5 years in prison and a maximum $125,000 fine. Penalties could double for fraud involving organized groups or multiple victims. The legislation comes amid growing international scrutiny of scam schemes in Southeast Asia. The facilities in question are alleged to be tied to organized crime — including cryptocurrency scams — and serious abuses like forced labor. The U.S. and UK have previously imposed sanctions on related networks, and Cambodia has cooperated in extraditing individuals linked to these cases. Analysts say the law marks Cambodia’s first use of criminal legislation to directly target cryptocurrency-related fraud infrastructure. But its real-world ef

J.P. Morgan Wealth Management plans to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum spot trading services in the first half of this year

April 4 — American brokerage giant Charles Schwab announced plans to launch crypto spot trading services for Bitcoin and Ethereum via its banking subsidiary in the first half of 2026. The service will be offered through a "Schwab Crypto" account, which is now open for customer waitlists. Users must already hold a Schwab brokerage account to apply. CEO Rick Wurster noted the move responds to customer demand and aims to integrate digital assets with traditional holdings like stocks and bonds in a single account view. Notably, the crypto business will operate under the bank subsidiary, so related assets won’t be protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) or covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) deposit insurance. The service will also initially exclude certain U.S. regions, including New York and Louisiana. Schwab currently offers crypto-related products such as Bitcoin ETFs and futures. Market observers expect the direct spot trading lau
