Beats' new Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds just went on sale for the second time at $50 off
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
One of the most eagerly awaited sequels in the world of tech just went on sale. The Powerbeats Pro 2 upgrade the most beloved workout earbuds on the market and come in four new colors. Mike Andronico's glowing review is convincing me to ditch the Bose Ultra Open buds I use when working out in favor of these newer buds, which are $50 off for only the second time. In the world of workout earbuds, there's one brand that has consistently released the most popular options: Beats. Its headphones have been topping the charts at CNN Underscored for ages, and its new Powerbeats Pro 2 should be following suit. Andronico has been covering consumer electronics for over a decade. So when he was impressed by the company's latest, I knew these earbuds were the real deal.
Today's offer makes that endorsement even better. It's only the second time these Beats headphones have gone on sale since launching in February. The first and only other discount was back during the Memorial Day festivities, a deal that was so popular it quickly sold out. So, if today's rehash of that all-time low from the holiday weekend catches your eye, it'll be worth adding to your cart sooner rather than later. Shipping times are already beginning to slip, but there's a chance you'll still be able to have these delivered as a last-minute Father's Day gift.

DHL moves early to renew Cargojet contract until 2033
Canadian airline Cargojet has extended its long-term transport agreement with integrated carrier DHL Express until March 31, 2033, and reduced DHL's potential ownership stake in the company from 9.5% to 6.6% in exchange for renewing the deal two years before it expired, the companies announced Wednesday. The revised freight services contract is projected to deliver $2.3 billion in revenue for Cargojet. DHL has the right to extend the agreement two times for two-year terms, potentially stretching the deal until March 2037. Cargojet was scheduled to release second-quarter results Wednesday after the stock market closed, but had not done so as of 7 p.m. ET. In early July, Cargojet extended its contract with Amazon for four years. The contract now runs until March 31, 2029. Cargojet began flying in DHL's express package network in 2005. It now provides bundled lease packages that include aircraft, crews and mechanics to fly freight; crew and maintenance in cases where DHL provides its own freighter aircraft; and charter service for short-term capacity needs. Cargojet has a fleet of more than 40 Boeing 767 and 757 freighters. Some of DHL's volume moves in Cargojet's domestic Canadian overnight network in which capacity is shared by various customers. Cargojet's current contract with DHL was signed in March 2022 and was scheduled to run five years. The companies cemented their partnership with the issuance of warrants giving DHL 9.5% of Cargojet shares after a seven-year vesting period. Under the expanded partnership, DHL will continue to guarantee a minimum amount of paid flight hours per month and give Cargojet preference to fly additional routes as it adjusts its global network to meet shipping demand. Cargojet will also terminate the warrants to acquire more than 1.6 million voting shares and instead issue warrants giving DHL the right to acquire 1 million shares at a price of $67.90 per share over a period of eight years, with vesting tied to DHL delivering up to $3.2 billion in business volume during the period.

Stocks higher with eyes on earnings, US tariff deadline
Wall Street stocks rebounded Wednesday led by Apple and other large tech companies as markets largely shrugged off US President Donald Trump's latest tariff hikes. Apple piled on more than five percent after White House officials said the tech giant plans an additional $100 billion in capital spending in the United States. Amazon and Google parent Alphabet were among the other large tech names that also rose. Dozens of economies around the world including the European Union and India are set to face higher US tariffs on Thursday, as US President Donald Trump's long-threatened "reciprocal" duties over trade practices he deems unfair take effect. Trump also on Wednesday ordered an additional 25-percent tariff on Indian goods over New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil, a key revenue source for Moscow's war in Ukraine. Separate 50-percent US tariffs on Brazilian imports came into place Wednesday, with significant exemptions, after Trump targeted Latin America's biggest economy over its prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. But Wall Street equities spent most of the day firmly in positive territory. The tech-rich Nasdaq finished up 1.2 percent to 21,169.42, less than 10 points from an all-time record. "This is a market that's fueled by enthusiasm," said Jack Ablin of Cresset Capital Management. "Nothing has blown up yet. Perhaps the impact of tariffs won't be as great as investors originally feared." Earlier, Europe's main markets also finished the day with gains. European investors are "in a relatively confident mood following a US-EU trade deal that eases concerns around tomorrow's tariff headline", said Joshua Mahony, chief market analyst at Rostro trading group. Markets are "heavily focused on the likes of India and Switzerland," which have yet to reach a final agreement with Washington, he added. Elsewhere, oil prices gyrated as markets tried to determine the latest Russia developments, with Trump saying late Wednesday that there was a high probability of a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the near future. Oil prices finished down more than one percent, while the dollar slid against its main rival currencies. In company news, shares in Danish drug giant Novo Nordisk fell 5.4 percent. The group reported a sharp rise in second-quarter net profit, but rising competition is hitting sales of its diabetes and obesity treatments Ozempic and Wegovy in the United States. In London, shares in Swiss mining and commodity giant Glencore shed 4.0 percent after it posted widening first-half losses on falling coal prices, US tariffs and Middle East tensions. Disney fell 2.7 percent as it reported around a doubling of profits to $5.3 billion and announced a series of new deals to boost its upcoming ESPN streaming venture. But McDonald's jumped 3.0 percent as it reported an 11-percent rise in profits to $2.3 billion. While the fast food giant returned to sales growth at US stores, it warned that low-income consumers were cutting back amid financial pressures. - Key figures at around 2120 GMT - New York - Dow: UP 0.2 percent at 44,193.12 (close) New York - S&P 500: UP 0.7 percent at 6,345.06 (close) New York - Nasdaq Composite: UP 1.2 percent at 21,169.42 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.2 percent at 9,164.31 (close) Paris - CAC 40: UP 0.2 percent at 7,635.03 (close) Frankfurt - DAX: UP 0.3 percent at 23,924.36 (close) Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.6 percent at 40,794.86 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: FLAT at 24,910.63 (close) Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.5 percent at 3,633.99 (close) Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1659 from $1.1575 on Tuesday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3358 from $1.3299 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 147.38 yen from 147.62 yen Euro/pound: UP at 87.23 pence from 87.04 pence Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 1.1 percent at $66.89 per barrel West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 1.2 percent at $64.35 per barrel burs-jmb/jgc

My Favorite Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner Is 29% Off on Amazon Right Now
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more › The latest car news, reviews, and features. An OBD2 scanner that can read your vehicle's trouble codes is a critical tool for DIYers. But even if you don't like turning wrenches yourself, it's hugely helpful to be able to get an idea of what's going on with your car when the check engine light comes on—at a minimum, it can tell you if you need to stop driving immediately or can procrastinate the repair. One of my favorite tools for this job, the BlueDriver, is the cheapest I've ever seen it on Amazon right now. See It There are a million OBD2 scanners on the market, but I like the BlueDriver because it's particularly user-friendly for non-pros. And it lets you use your phone's rich interface, rather than a tiny LCD screen, to get info. BlueDriver provides contextual information along with trouble codes, plus it's wireless. Simply plug the device into your car's diagnostic port (pretty much every U.S.-market car made after 1996 has one in the driver's footwell area), Bluetooth it to your phone, and the free app lets your car talk to you. It's compatible with iOS and Android; I use mine with an iPad because the screen's nice and large. If you're willing to go deeper on diagnostics, BlueDriver can report some live engine data. But if you just need to know if your car's about to explode or if you just have a minor issue, the app will tell you that in pretty plain language, too. As long as you have an internet connection, you can zoom straight from your trouble-code diagnostic to likely causes and repair suggestions. It's a great compromise between cheap, small OBD scanners and higher-end color-screen ones. I think I paid about $100 for mine a couple of years ago, the list price is $119.95, and if you grab this Amazon deal right now, you can pick one up for $84.95. Pro tip for those who are really frugal: Many auto parts stores will read your engine codes for free. But that's not always practical or convenient. The BlueDriver does a lot of what higher-end scanners can do at my lower cost since it uses your phone as the primary interface. And, as discussed, it provides some tips and insights to get your car working properly again. If you prefer a wired device that's self-contained and doesn't require phone pairing, the Innova 5610 is also on sale (more money, but high-quality), as well as the Topdon AD600S (horizontal interface, wider screen). We scour the web to bring you the best deals on big-name brands in tools, car parts, toys, electronics, watches, and everything else a gearhead could want.
