Nvidia’s $1 Trillion Data Centre Bet and Its Market Impact

At its GTC 2025 event last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang projected that data centre investments would reach $1 trillion by 2028, accelerating his previous forecast for 2030. This bullish outlook has strengthened the case for Nvidia investors to capitalise on the company's stock, which remains attractively valued. As Nvidia maintains its dominance in the GPU market and experiences a sharp rise in data centre sales, the industry’s rapid growth could also strengthen the position of its closest competitors.

SEC Task Force Considers New Rules for Crypto Tokens

In the crypto space, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s crypto task force held its first public meeting with industry experts on Friday, discussing how securities laws may apply to digital assets as the Trump administration seeks to revamp cryptocurrency regulations. Led by Republican SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, the task force is responsible for drafting rules and guidance for the sector.

A key topic of debate was whether crypto tokens require a distinct regulatory framework separate from traditional securities oversight. The crypto industry has long been at odds with regulators over the classification of digital assets, with many arguing that tokens function more like commodities than securities. If classified as securities, crypto firms would be required to register with the SEC and adhere to investor disclosure requirements.

Conversely, if it gets rejected at the trend line, bearish momentum might regain control, pushing the price downward to retest the support zone of 79,200 – 77,500.

Investors Await U.S. Flash composite PMI reading

The U.S. Flash Composite PMI index stood at 51.6 in February, with a slight decline to 51.5 expected for March, indicating a marginal slowdown in economic activity. This data is set to be released on 24 March at 13:45 GMT. This slight dip may be attributed to factors such as slower business expansion due to weaker demand or supply chain constraints, the impact of restrictive monetary policy as the Federal Reserve maintains higher interest rates, and cautious consumer and business sentiment amid inflationary pressures and global uncertainties.

From a technical analysis perspective, the overall trend of the U.S. Dollar Index has been bullish since the end of September 2024, as indicated by the formation of higher highs and higher lows. However, the index began to decline in early February 2025, marked by a significant double-top candlestick pattern.

Recently, the index found support within the 103.00 – 103.20 zone, where it formed a significant double-bottom candlestick pattern before rebounding. It is now approaching the 104.00 – 104.20 swap zone. A decisive close above this level could signal a continuation of bullish momentum, potentially driving the index higher.
