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.

Institutional Outlook on the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Path: Status Quo Likely, Divergent Views on Rate Outlook

June 18 — Multiple institutions expect the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming policy meeting, though there’s significant divergence on the future rate path. The market’s focus is on whether the Fed will remove dovish-biased language from its post-meeting statement and how new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will approach policy communication. On the "hold" side: Moody’s sees the Fed as unlikely to cut rates in the near term, with its baseline scenario calling for rates to stay flat all year. It notes a potential shift to rate hikes could come if inflation expectations continue to rise. Nomura Securities forecasts the Fed will hold rates steady through 2026. JPMorgan believes rates will remain unchanged for the rest of this year, with the policy stance likely transitioning from dovish to neutral. Wells Fargo states there’s little reason for the Fed to act unless the labor market overheats significantly or the inflation outlook deteriorates further. BNY Mellon expe

Dragonfly Partners Praise SmartSpectra: Model Benchmark Performs Well, Previous Gap Judgment Between Open Source and Closed Source Models Was Incorrect

Trump: Only if Iran takes the right action will a $300 billion fund be provided

On June 18, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. would provide a $300 billion fund only if Iran "does things right," adding Iran’s reconstruction would take 15 to 20 years. Trump noted frozen Iranian funds belong to Iran and that Washington would return the money to Tehran at some point. He also claimed the U.S. dollar has grown significantly stronger during his tenure, warning failing to return the funds would be detrimental to the greenback, and that the U.S. reserves would run out in about four weeks.

Trump Says He 'Doesn't Want to Be Another Hoover,' Reaches Deal to Avoid Economic Collapse

June 18 — U.S. President Trump delivered a speech Wednesday following the conclusion of the G7 summit in France, defending the agreement reached between the U.S. and Iran. He expressed reluctance to see the Middle East conflict continue, fearing it could spark an economic disaster. Speaking at the lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains in France, Trump said: “The last thing I want to see is a financial disaster. If this conflict persists, such a scenario is entirely possible.” Trump also stated he does not want to end up like Herbert Hoover. In October 1929, Hoover was serving as U.S. president during the U.S. stock market crash. That crash wiped out billions of dollars in wealth and ultimately triggered the economic crisis later known as the Great Depression. (FXStreet)
