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.

Trump Boasts: Iran Is 'Totally Defeated,' U.S. No Longer Weak

June 20th, President Donald Trump posted the following on social media: “The Radical Left Democrats and the lamestream media know how great a job we did with the strike on Iran. Their country was a total sitting duck, and the Iranian government now holds military control over things. Obama didn’t have a clue. He gave Iran $150 billion, never used our exhausted military to stop a completely one-sided deal that benefited terrorists heavily. The Iranian people have little respect for him, and he would’ve never succeeded anyway. Iran has been terrorizing its people for the past 47 years—until I took office. Then everything changed.”

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin Strategy Adds Roughly $48 Billion to Balance Sheet Compared to Debt

June 20th: MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor posted on social media this week, reflecting on a speech he gave back in October 2022—when Bitcoin was hovering around $20,000. At the time, the firm held 130,000 BTC valued at roughly $26 billion, and its split-adjusted MSTR stock was trading at about $24. Just weeks later, Bitcoin dropped below $16,000, leaving Strategy’s total debt temporarily larger than its combined Bitcoin and cash reserves (a roughly $3 billion shortfall). By the end of the year, MSTR stock had fallen to around $13. Since then, the team has stayed focused, doubled down on strengthening its fundamentals, and stuck strictly to its core strategy. Over that stretch, they’ve raised more than $60 billion—every dollar put entirely toward accumulating more Bitcoin, adding over 716,000 BTC to their holdings. Today, MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin and cash reserves sit roughly $48 billion above its total debt. Saylor also thanked everyone who’s believed in the company, stuck
