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.

Trump White House Press Conference Summary: Iran's 10 points not good enough but important, should be paid toll by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz

**Trump Warns Iran of Immediate Consequences If No Deadline Agreement; Threatens Infrastructure Destruction, Reporter Jail Time** In the early hours of April 7 Beijing time, U.S. President Donald Trump held a press conference at the White House, issuing stark warnings to Iran over the consequences of failing to reach an agreement by his set deadline. Trump emphasized: “We must reach an agreement that I can accept,” noting part of the deal would require “free passage of oil and all materials.” He threatened the U.S. military could destroy Iranian bridges and power plants within four hours. While attacking civilian infrastructure is prohibited under the Geneva Conventions, Trump said he was “not at all” concerned about committing war crimes. “An entire country can be wiped out in one night, and that night could be tomorrow night,” he warned.

Play and Talk: US-Iran Dialogue Highlights Differences, Asset Markets on a Rollercoaster

April 7th — Last night into this morning, Iran countered the U.S.’s 15-point ceasefire proposal with its own 10-point plan. First-round talks laid bare sharp gaps in the two sides’ demands. Former President Trump, for his part, has been using peace talks as a ruse while brandishing a “big stick”: coordinating with Israel to launch repeated attacks on Iran, vowing to “destroy Iranian bridges and power plants” and claiming U.S. forces could “take down Iran in a day.” Asset markets hit another rollercoaster Tuesday. Bitcoin failed to hold Monday afternoon’s gains, last trading at $68,819 (a 1.62% drop over 24 hours). WTI crude rebounded to pre-weekend levels, last at $113 a barrel. The U.S.-Iran standoff is set to go through multiple tug-of-war rounds, with military tensions likely to escalate — testing investors’ nerves repeatedly in the days ahead.
