3.1 Market Background

On March 12th, data released by the U.S. Labor Department showed that the U.S. CPI rose by 3.2% year-on-year in February, higher than the previous and expected 3.1%, reaching a new high since December 2023; the month-on-month CPI rose by 0.4%, consistent with expectations, but higher than the previous 0.3%, indicating a rebound in U.S. inflation and a reacceleration.

On Thursday, March 14th, data from the U.S. Labor Department showed that the U.S. PPI exceeded expectations, rising by 1.6% year-on-year in February, up from 1.2% previously, far exceeding the expected 0.9%; the month-on-month PPI accelerated by 0.6%, doubled the expected value, up from 0.3% previously.

On March 19th, the Bank of Japan announced its latest interest rate decision, raising the benchmark rate from -0.1% to 0–0.1%, marking the first rate hike since 2007 and ending the era of eight years of negative interest rates.

On March 20th, following the FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve announced that the target range for the federal funds rate would remain at 5.25% to 5.50%. Since the rate hike in July last year, the Fed has kept this policy rate at a high level for over twenty years.

On the same day, Fed Chair Powell reiterated during a press conference that interest rates are at a cyclical peak and that it would be appropriate to begin easing at some point this year, but also emphasized that inflation is “still too high” and that the FOMC policy rate will not fall to very low levels. He also hinted at slowing the pace of balance sheet reduction.

Economic data released by the United States in March indicated that inflation was more resilient than expected; coupled with the rate hike by the Bank of Japan, global liquidity tightened. Subsequently released minutes from the Fed’s interest rate meeting showed that the target range for the federal funds rate in the United States remained unchanged, with a high probability of three rate cuts within the year. This also laid the foundation for oversold rebound in the cryptocurrency market later.

3.2 Trade Analysis
