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.

HIVE Digital, a mining company, surged over 22%, with its deployment of an A40 GPU cluster approaching H100 levels in certain scenarios

**June 23** Bitget Market Data shows shares of HIVE Digital Technologies, a Bitcoin mining firm, surged over 22% intraday on Monday, with market sentiment shifting firmly bullish. The key catalyst for the rally is an AI research study from Columbia University that validated the performance of HIVE’s GPU cluster in Paraguay. The study found that HIVE’s Nvidia A40 GPU cluster—after software optimization—delivered performance on par with Nvidia’s H100 in specific large-scale model training tasks, and stood out in a pre-training job using roughly 1.4 billion parameters. Notably, the New York-based research team led the experiment, but all actual computing work was completed in Asunción, Paraguay, more than 5,000 miles away. This setup proved remote intercontinental iterative training is a viable model. HIVE reps stated the results confirm its “geographically distributed computing power architecture” is feasible, and back the company’s strategy to build AI computing infrastructur

Crypto Bill Second Front Opens: Tax Policy Focusing on Mining and Staking Rewards Sparks Debate

June 22 — Top U.S. cryptocurrency industry lobbying organizations have sent a joint letter to the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, urging progress on the “Tax Clarity for Mining and Staking Act” and pushing for standardized tax treatment for crypto miners and stakers. The bill, introduced by Republican Congressman Mike Carey, would allow taxpayers to choose when to incur tax obligations on new mining or staking-generated assets: either pay taxes at the time the assets are acquired, or defer tax payments until the assets are sold. Supporting groups including the Blockchain Association, Digital Chamber, and Crypto Council for Innovation argue the current U.S. tax system unfairly forces those contributing to network security (miners and stakers) to pay taxes on income that hasn’t been converted into liquid cash yet. Supporters note the proposal does not grant indefinite deferral, but merely avoids immediate taxation on illiquid income to ease cash flow pressure on miners and network
