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.

In the United States, eight "laptop farm owners" have been sentenced in five months for aiding North Korean IT personnel in infiltrating nearly 70 companies.

**May 8 — The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reports eight people have been sentenced over the past five months for acting as local "agents" for North Korean IT workers.** In May alone, Tennessee’s Matthew Isaac Knoot and New York’s Erick Ntekereze Prince each received 18-month prison terms. Together, they generated $1.2 million for North Korea and impacted nearly 70 U.S. companies. Known as "laptop farmers," these individuals received work laptops shipped by U.S. firms on behalf of North Korean workers. They installed remote desktop software, allowing North Korean IT staff to pose as local U.S. remote employees. The scheme funneled revenue to the North Korean government, targeting technical roles at crypto companies to steal assets or infiltrate infrastructure. Last month, New Jersey’s Kejia Wang and Zhenxing Wang were sentenced to 9 years and 7 years 8 months, respectively, for operating a larger-scale laptop farm that earned North Korea over $5 million.

Data: The US economy is now heavily reliant on artificial intelligence, with 67% of economic growth driven by AI in the last quarter.

**May 8th — AI Drives Historic U.S. Economic Growth** Investment in software and IT equipment fueled a record contribution to U.S. GDP in Q1 2026, with AI at its core. That spending added 134 basis points to quarterly growth (up 2.0% quarter-over-quarter) — the largest such quarterly impact on record. In short: 67% of Q1 2026 economic growth came from AI-driven tech investment. Without it, GDP growth would have been nearly flat. The contribution also beats the 1999 record by roughly 10 basis points. Over the past five quarters, this category has averaged a 90-basis-point lift per quarter — the highest for any consecutive five-quarter stretch in history. The U.S. economy now leans heavily on AI.
