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.

Wintermute Ventures Enters Prediction Market, Providing Bilateral Liquidity to Mainstream Platforms

May 29 — Leading market maker Wintermute is entering the prediction market space, rolling out two-way liquidity (bid-ask pricing) for event contracts on major prediction market platforms. The firm confirmed it’s currently providing both buy and sell quotes for active event contracts.

In the case of the large oil tanker affected by the Iran conflict, a quarter of them has successfully sailed out of the strait

May 29 — Amid the outbreak of hostilities in Iran, roughly a quarter of non-Iranian large oil tankers initially stranded in the Persian Gulf when the conflict began have gradually managed to break free via slow, covert maneuvers and successfully departed the area. Per shipping data compiled by Bloomberg, a total of 109 large vessels (defined as those with a carrying capacity of 700,000 barrels or more) became trapped after fighting erupted on February 28, when the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed. As of press time, 29 of these vessels have safely transited this strategic chokepoint. While the cargo released so far accounts for only a tiny fraction of the total crude oil and refined products still stranded in the Gulf, against the backdrop of a rapidly shrinking global market inventory buffer, this cargo was immediately snapped up by the market upon hitting the market. Additionally, as many vessels have disabled their Automatic Identification System (AIS) to avoid risks, the act

Google's TPU Could See Record-Breaking Order, Private Equity Giant Gearing Up for Massive Chip Financing for Anthropic

May 29 — Recent reports show leading private equity giants Apollo Global Management and Blackstone Group are bringing additional investors on board for an approximately $36 billion debt financing deal to help AI firm Anthropic build out its artificial intelligence infrastructure. Sources with direct knowledge of the matter revealed that this debt will be used to purchase Google’s custom Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) chips, which Anthropic will then lease. Broadcom, which assisted Google in developing the chips, will provide guarantees for most of the transaction. The move is projected to be one of the largest private credit deals in history, and could also mark the largest chip-focused financing transaction to date. The structure leverages Broadcom’s credit rating to deliver critical computing power support to Anthropic. (Jinse)

On May 29, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) divisions of Clearing and Risk, Market Oversight, and Market Participants released joint staff guidance focused on regulatory oversight of 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement operations. With market interest in 24/7 trading models on the rise, the CFTC said the guidance is intended to foster responsible market innovation, while reminding designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, derivatives clearing organizations, and futures commission merchants of their obligations under the Commodity Exchange Act and accompanying rules. The guidance primarily lays out the regulatory responsibilities and staff expectations for entities looking to launch 24/7 trading and clearing operations, with a focus on key differences across asset classes when evaluating whether 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement make sense for their products.
