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.

The move comes as Coinbase ramps up its OTC brokerage services, aiming to become a one-stop institutional provider covering custody, risk management, financing, lending, and trade execution. Last year, Coinbase began branding itself a “universal exchange,” announcing plans to expand into mature markets like stock trading and emerging areas such as tokenization and prediction markets. Last month, the exchange rolled out stock trading services nationwide. Competitors including FalconX, Bitgo, and DCG have spent years devel

Middle East Conflict Leads to Dubai Physical Gold Selling at a Discount

March 7 (Bloomberg) — Air travel restrictions are pushing many buyers to delay new gold orders: they’re unwilling to absorb high freight and insurance costs, and can’t guarantee on-time delivery. Sources note traders are selling gold at discounts of up to $30 per ounce below the London spot price to avoid indefinite storage and financing costs. While some gold was loaded onto outbound flights midweek, plenty of cargo remains stranded as of Friday. Dubai and the broader UAE are key refining and transshipment hubs for gold exports to Asian buyers, plus a transit route for gold shipments from Switzerland, the UK, and several African nations. As the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its seventh day with no resolution in sight, partial UAE airspace closures are in effect. Gold is usually shipped in the cargo holds of commercial passenger jets. Given the risks and complexities of overland border crossings, traders and logistics firms are hesitant to truck high-value gold to airports in Saud

Bloomberg: US CFTC May Move to Co-Locate With SEC, But Agencies Won’t Merge

March 7 — Two top U.S. financial regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), are discussing relocating to the same Washington, D.C., building complex near the U.S. Capitol, sources familiar with the matter said. The SEC and CFTC oversee distinct markets.

The relocation has been under discussion since last year and could take effect as early as 2027, they added. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which manages federal real estate, is also involved in the talks.
