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.

Michael Saylor: BIP-110 only supported by 2.7% of blocks in the current Bitcoin mining difficulty cycle

Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated in a post that during Bitcoin’s current difficulty adjustment cycle, only 38 blocks (accounting for 2.70% of the total) had set the BIP-110 support flag in their block header version field by block 961,022, making its 55% voluntary threshold impossible to meet. At block 961,632, BIP-110 nodes will reject blocks that fail to signal support. Unless the majority of miners reverse course, Bitcoin will operate normally, while BIP-110 will stagnate, fork, or become irrelevant. Its supporters should stop pushing forward with the proposal.

Morgan Stanley: The rise of open-weight AI models will accelerate the popularization of AI by reducing costs.

Morgan Stanley stated that the rise of open-weight AI models such as Kimi K3, Qwen, and Llama will accelerate the popularization of AI by reducing costs, rather than undermining the competitive advantage of industry leaders. The bank holds that lower-cost AI will drive broader corporate adoption of AI technology, citing the "Jevons Paradox" as its basis—where improved technical efficiency leads to greater overall demand. Morgan Stanley projects that open-weight models and closed-source models will coexist in the long term, with 63% of enterprises already using both types currently. Furthermore, the bank pointed out that regardless of which AI model architecture eventually dominates, Nvidia will be the largest beneficiary, as demand for AI computing infrastructure will continue to grow.
