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.

Meta’s total investment in its Louisiana data center will exceed $250 billion.

Meta Platforms has pledged an additional $40 billion investment into its large data center campus in Louisiana, U.S., as it scales up its artificial intelligence (AI) computing operations, bringing the project’s total projected investment to over $250 billion. The company announced Monday that it will expand the rural Louisiana data center project to at least 5 gigawatts (GW) of computing capacity, with a total investment of $50 billion. Previously, Meta had committed $10 billion to build the data center and its surrounding community.

According to a source familiar with the matter, this will push the project’s total projected investment to at least $250 billion. To date, Meta has not disclosed any specific expenditures for the project beyond the $50 billion.

Rumors of Japanese pension fund portfolio adjustments have been refuted.

According to Reuters' sources familiar with internal government discussions, Japan has no current plans to revise the target asset allocation of its national pension fund, but may increase domestic asset investments within the current floating range. Affected by this news, the yen and Japanese government bonds weakened again; the yen depreciated by as much as 0.4% to 1 USD = 162.36 JPY, with the decline only slightly eased after Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara made additional remarks. At a Monday press conference, Kihara said the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) reviews its portfolio annually and will launch a formal adjustment process if there are material changes to market conditions. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, which oversees the fund, declined to comment on the matter. Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato stated last Friday that the government will introduce supporting measures to encourage pension institutions including the GPIF to significantly increase their holdings of Japanese domestic financial assets. This comment quickly lifted the yen and Japanese government bonds, as markets bet that the GPIF – the world's largest pension fund by assets – would inject hundreds of billions of dollars into the domestic market. As of March this year, the GPIF's assets under management reached 293.6 trillion yen, equivalent to 1.81 trillion U.S. dollars.
