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.

Iran will monitor the U.S.'s subsequent actions and has prepared for all eventualities.

Netanyahu chairs cabinet meeting to discuss meeting with Trump and matters related to the International Criminal Court.

According to Israel’s i24 News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the opening of a cabinet meeting: “I will depart for Washington tomorrow to meet with President Trump at his invitation, then attend the memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham, a great friend of Israel, and discuss all agenda items with Trump—including the situation in Iran.” Regarding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) vote to remove its chief prosecutor Karim Khan, Netanyahu said the result “exposes the fact that this individual is not only accused of sexually harassing multiple female subordinates” but also pushed for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Netanyahu alleged the prosecutor acted “to divert attention, rally all of Israel’s enemies around him, and secure a protective umbrella for himself.” He also spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated the U.S. intends to take strong action against the ICC.
