Read to the bottom for our calendar of key events—and one more thing.
After a 90-day pause on the elevated 'Liberation Day' tariffs, the deadline for the U.S. to negotiate new deals with a host of trading partners comes Wednesday. Tariffs could go back to the levels announced in April for countries that haven't yet negotiated a deal. President Trump has announced trade deals, including agreements with the U.K. and Vietnam, but several other countries have yet to reach agreements on the import taxes. Trump said he has ended negotiations with Canada. It's unclear if Trump will reimpose the tariffs or extend the deadline again for countries that haven't reached a deal.
Wednesday's release of the minutes from the June Federal Reserve meeting will give investors insight into how Fed officials are viewing the economy, as central bankers watch economic data as they decide how to set interest-rate policy. Reports on consumer credit levels and jobless claims also will be released this week.
Investors will be watching Amazon (AMZN) as it begins its annual 'Prime Day' sale on Tuesday. After sales hit an all-time high at last year's event, Amazon has extended this year's sale to four days from two.
Corporate earnings reports will trickle in this week, preceding the full start of earnings season the following week. Delta Air Lines (DAL) earnings are scheduled for Thursday, following a quarterly sales increase with higher passenger revenue. Slim Jim parent Conagra Brands (CAG) reports on the same day, coming after an underwhelming previous-quarter earnings report that showed sales and profit declined due to supply constraints. Levi Strauss (LEVI) also will deliver its quarterly earnings update the same day, as the company grapples with how to handle tariffs.

Costco Has Issued a Recall of Several Items That Could Be in Your Home
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." If you bought a window air conditioner from Costco in the last few years, you might want to give it a good look. The membership-only retailer has just issued a recall on two different window air conditioners along with several other big ticket items that could prove to be a safety risk, and some of the recalled products should stop being used immediately. Costco recalled all Danby brand U-shaped air conditioners that were sold between June 10, 2021, and February 2, 2022, as well as Midea brand U-shaped window air conditioners sold between June 2021 and May 2025. The company has asked customers to discontinue use of these products "immediately" due to issues with water pooling underneath the units as they are not draining quickly enough. This presents a "risk of mold growth." Customers who wish to have the issue repaired can be sent a free repair kit from Costco which would include a new drain plug and bubble level, depending on the model. Customers can also reach out to Costco to get a full or prorated refund, based on the purchase date or the date of the unit's manufacture. There have been several other items recalled by Costco as well, including Anker power banks, which are used for portable charging. There is a potential risk factor with these power banks, which were sold between June 1, 2016 and Dec. 31, 2022, due to the possibility that they "may overheat, posing a potential fire safety risk," which "could lead to melting of plastic components, smoke or fire," per the recall. Anyone who has purchased one of these power banks can reach out for a refund or a replacement with a photo of the product showing the serial number on the back, model number, date the photo was taken, and the word "recalled" written on the power bank in permanent marker. Costco has also recalled Bridgestone Blizzak 6 tires and Michelin Agilis CrossClimate C-Metric tires. The Bridgetstone tires were sold as replacement tires only and "do not bear the DOT certification symbol on the tire sidewalls and therefore do not comply with tire marking requirements in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 139," per the recall, while the Michelin tires were recalled as "chunks of tread rubber may detach from the shoulder block." Other Costco items that have been recalled include the 18 packs of Topo Chico Mineral Water Glass, Igloo 90 Qt Flip & Tow Rolling Cooler, Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker + Air Fryer, Segway Ninebot Electric Kickscooter and the Sublue Underwater Scooter. There were also select Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu items added to the recall, as well as multiple products from Fresh and Ready Foods Prepared Sandwiches and Salads. Finally, Bowflex 552 adjustable dumbbells were recalled "due to reports that the weight plates can dislodge from the handle during use, posing an impact hazard."

BRICS tariff to be applied only if they adopt policies deemed 'anti-American', source says
By Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration will not immediately impose a new 10% tariff against members of the developing nation BRICS bloc, but will proceed if countries take so-called "anti-American" policy actions, according to a source familiar with the matter. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States will impose an additional 10% tariff on any countries aligning themselves with so-called "anti-American policies" of the BRICS group of developing nations, triggering sharp denials from its members that they were oriented against the United States. "A line is being drawn. If policy decisions are made that are anti-American, then the tariff will be charged," said the source, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the matter. No executive order has been released by the White House. Trump's announcement, made on his Truth Social media platform, came as India, Indonesia and other countries within the BRICS group were negotiating last-minute trade deals with the U.S. government ahead of a July 9 deadline when tariff rates had been scheduled to go up. The effective date for those tariffs has now been postponed until August 1. Trade experts said the new tariff threat was aimed at maintaining and increasing pressure on countries seeking to avoid high tariffs proposed by Trump in April. Many BRICS members and partner countries are highly dependent on trade with the United States. Trump's posting came hours after BRICS leaders issued a 31-page statement in which they condemned attacks on Gaza and Iran, called for reforms to global institutions and warned that unilateral tariffs threatened global trade. The first BRICS summit in 2009 was attended by leaders from Brazil, China, India and Russia, with South Africa joining later. Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates were included last year, and Saudi Arabia, while accepted as a member, is participating as a partner country. Other partner countries include Bolivia, Nigeria, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Uganda. Trump has close ties to leaders of some of those countries, such as Saudi Arabia and UAE, and has been touting the prospect of a trade deal with India for weeks. His administration concluded a framework trade deal with Vietnam last week, and has been in talks about a similar agreement with Thailand. In the BRICS leaders Sunday statement, they condemned attacks on Gaza and Iran by Israel, a U.S. ally, and called for reforms to global institutions, warning that the rise in "unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures" threatened global trade. It was not immediately clear if Trump's latest tariff threat would derail trade talks underway with India, Indonesia and other BRICS nations. South Africa insisted it was not "anti-American" and said its talks with the U.S. government remained constructive. Indonesia, keen to avert a threatened 32% tariff rate, is due to sign a $34 billion pact with U.S. partners this week and has offered to cut duties on key imports from the United States to "near zero" and to buy $500 million worth of U.S. wheat.
