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.

US media reports: Republicans begin considering raising the debt ceiling again as midterm elections approach.

According to Politico, U.S. Republicans raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion last year. Now, they are already considering how to avoid falling back into a "fiscal cliff" during Trump’s term. Independent forecasting agencies project that the U.S. will reach "X Date"—the final deadline to avert a U.S. debt default—between next summer and early 2028, a period that coincides with the intensification of the presidential primary season. Two sources familiar with the matter said that to avoid high-stakes negotiations with Democrats, White House officials have privately proposed raising the U.S. debt ceiling of $41.1 trillion via a partisan spending bill that many Republicans hope to pass ahead of the November midterm elections. If Republicans lose control of either chamber of Congress in the upcoming midterms, this move could save Trump significant trouble, as Democrats will in any case demand concessions in bipartisan negotiations to prevent an unprecedented national debt default—with the total national debt currently nearing $39.7 trillion.

Bank of America: Seven Ongoing Risks Plague AI and Semiconductor Sector Stocks

Bank of America’s report flags seven persistent risks for stocks in the AI and semiconductor sectors, detailed below: 1. Hardware trading has turned into a "tourist trade" — even medical tour groups are discussing SNDK. Late buyers of MU may still face a washout, while sharp daily volatility is forcing committed bulls to exit positions. 2. Good news no longer moves markets. TSM, ASML, and INTC have declined even after reporting strong earnings, with intraday rebounds consistently met by selling pressure. Capital expenditure cuts by large-scale players will harm AI suppliers, while hikes will pressure free cash flow; financing activities are also stoking funding concerns. Ordinary upside surprises may no longer be enough to drive gains. 3. Investors are bearish on AI labs but still bullish on their infrastructure. Spending by OpenAI and Anthropic is already embedded in suppliers’ backlogs and financial data. Open-source weighted models may eventually boost compute demand, but the transition process is unlikely to be smooth. 4. Token deflation is a double-edged sword. Cheaper tokens can accelerate adoption but will also compress lab profits and intensify hardware and power optimization efforts. More compute power does not automatically translate to higher profits for every supplier. 5. Memory sector estimates may need to be revised downward. Lower valuation multiples alone may not suffice; stocks that appear cheap based on unrevised projections may not actually be undervalued. 6. Credit has entered the stock market debate. Financing for the entire ecosystem has become a "trillion-dollar game of chicken". 7. The sector’s ongoing correction may stem from position and factor adjustments rather than a single fundamental breakdown. Investors will later apply narratives around open-source models, ROI, financing, and optimization to price movements.
