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.

US Media: Iran Plans to Charge Fee for Strait of Hormuz Subsea Cables

May 18, per CNN: Drawing inspiration from its wartime success blockading the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is now setting its sights on a hidden artery of the global economy: underwater fiber optic cables crisscrossing beneath the strait, which carry enormous volumes of internet and financial data traffic between Europe, Asia, and the Persian Gulf. Iran plans to charge major global tech firms for using these underwater cables, with government-linked media outlets quietly dropping subtle threats that data transmission could be disrupted if companies refuse to pay. Last week, Tehran’s lawmakers debated a related proposal targeting submarine cables connecting Arab nations to Europe and Asia. “We will charge fees for the internet cables,” Iranian military spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari stated on social media last week, according to reports from outlets closely affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Tehran’s scheme would require compliance from tech giants including Google (GOOG.O

Institution: The Global Central Bank Policy Tightening Is Likely to Be Quite Limited

May 17: Macro research firm TS Lombard says a drastic monetary tightening cycle is off the table. Facing an oil price shock, global central banks are likely to deliver only modest policy tightening at most. In Europe, the energy crunch has already dragged down economic activity. The UK’s labor market has been unstable for some time, and hiring sentiment across the region has grown increasingly subdued. TS Lombard projects the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of England (BoE) will tighten policy less this year than current market expectations— a possibility the market is drastically underappreciating. Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Federal Reserve’s odds of near-term policy tightening are slim; if it does act, it’s almost certainly not happening until 2027. (Source: FXStreet)
