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.

Coinbase announced it has launched tokenized stocks natively on Base, allowing users to hold US equity positions and participate in DeFi.

Coinbase announced that its issued tokenized stocks have launched natively on the Base blockchain, built on the B20 standard. The underlying stocks are held 1:1 by regulated custodian Alpaca in a bankruptcy-remote structure, with token holders holding direct ownership of the reference assets. Non-US users in compliant global jurisdictions only need a wallet and internet access to gain exposure to US stocks without a brokerage account or settlement delays, and can trade at any time on 24/7 AMM pools. The first supported assets include companies like Apple and NVIDIA. As standard B20 tokens, the tokenized stocks can be freely held, transferred, and traded, with no whitelisted wallet or platform lockups. Their key significance lies in DeFi integration: users can use tokenized NVIDIA stocks as collateral to borrow on Aave, or deposit Apple stocks in decentralized exchanges to earn yields, marking the first time stocks have shifted from static assets in traditional accounts to programmable liquidity building blocks on-chain. Dividends and stock splits are handled via on-chain multiplier mechanisms to ensure DeFi positions remain uninterrupted. Ecosystem projects including Aerodrome and Aave have publicly backed the B20 standard. Coinbase said it will launch more tokenized stocks in the coming weeks and continue advancing the on-chainization of other real-world assets, opening up new opportunities for developers to integrate traditional financial assets with the crypto-native ecosystem.

Bessent on Trump's increased tariffs on Canadian autos and steel: Trump hopes to sit down and negotiate in good faith.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented on former President Donald Trump’s announcement to raise tariffs on Canadian autos and steel to 50%. Bessent said Trump wants Canada to engage in sincere negotiations. Trump posted earlier that Canada has long taken advantage of the U.S., imposing ridiculously high tariffs on American farmers and agricultural products, leaving these producers struggling to make ends meet, and creating a $60 billion trade deficit between the two nations over time. “This situation is unsustainable and will not continue!” Trump wrote. Starting January 1, 2027, tariffs will be hiked to 50% on all cars, trucks (large and small), auto parts, and steel. Goods manufactured in the U.S. will be fully exempt from tariffs. “Canada will no longer be treated as a state,” Trump added. “Whether in trade or other areas, Canada is among the world’s most difficult countries to deal with. They believe they deserve special treatment, but the truth is: we don’t need Canada—they need us! 95% of Canada’s business is conducted with the U.S., while our relationship with Canada is the exact opposite!”
