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.

Anthropic calls for a global pause on cutting-edge AI research, interpreted by Serenity as Company A's competitive strategy

June 5: Anthropic has called on top-tier artificial intelligence labs worldwide to consider slowing their research and development efforts, noting AI systems are evolving at breakneck speed and may soon gain the ability to improve themselves without human intervention—a capability that could pose major societal risks. In a recent blog post, Anthropic published internal data vividly illustrating how its most advanced models are boosting performance at an astonishing rate. The piece suggests AI progress is moving toward "recursive self-improvement," where systems can autonomously optimize themselves without any human input. It called for a global agreement to potentially slow the pace of AI research, alongside a mechanism to verify that competitors comply with such a deal. In response, Serenity framed the call as a competitive ploy designed to freeze rivals while advancing its own work, arguing that such demands might instead prompt countries to accelerate AI investment.

U.S. Judge Warns: DOJ Appeal Will Disrupt Trump Tariff Refund Process

**Tariff Refund Legal Fight Escalates After Federal Trade Judge’s Rare Public Action** June 5 — A federal trade judge made an unusual public statement this week regarding the Trump administration’s appeal of a tariff refund ruling, as the legal battle over refund authority continues to heat up. U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Richard Eaton released a public letter Wednesday directly pushing back against the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)’s appeal of his order. In the letter, Eaton challenged the government’s legal position and warned that appellate court interference could disrupt an online refund system that has already processed at least $85 billion in refunds. DOJ responded the same day, stating it established the online refund system under its “own authority” to distance the program from Eaton’s tariff refund decision. The core argument in DOJ’s official appeal, filed this week, is twofold: First, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has no legal right to reopen cu
