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.

Goldman Sachs: SanDisk and Western Digital beat earnings expectations but still fell in after-hours trading, as overblown market expectations triggered profit-taking.

Goldman Sachs’ TMT team said both SanDisk and Western Digital fell in after-hours trading, despite posting strong quarterly results. The market focus was not on the quarterly figures themselves, but on the fact that buyer expectations were already elevated ahead of the earnings release. SanDisk beat consensus estimates on revenue, gross margin and earnings per share (EPS), but its third-quarter revenue guidance was slightly below market expectations, while its EPS guidance was roughly in line. Against the backdrop of a notable prior run-up in share prices, the earnings results triggered some profit-taking. More positive factors: SanDisk has secured multi-year customer supply agreements covering over 50% of its planned bit production for fiscal 2027 and 65% for fiscal 2028, with price floors to support NAND pricing visibility and share repurchases. Western Digital also exceeded expectations on revenue, margin and EPS, and its third-quarter revenue and margin guidance was above market estimates, yet its share price still declined. Goldman Sachs noted that given already high expectations for HDD prices and margins, the company’s guidance failed to meaningfully lift market expectations further. The market also expressed concerns that storage capacity shipment growth could slow as the company advances expansion of its 40TB ePMR products and HAMR certification. Goldman Sachs summed up the after-hours performance as "beating earnings estimates, but still falling short of elevated expectations". The fundamentals of NAND and HDD remain supportive, but market expectations are already at a high level.
