I combed through thousands of Amazon deals: These are the best sales to shop this week

Yahoo31-01-2025
Congrats on making it to the weekend! Any fun plans? If it's as cold in your part of the world as it is where I am, let's hope Punxsutawney Phil has some good news for us on Sunday. In the meantime, I'm content to hunker down inside and start chipping away at my mile-long to-do list (lots of odds and ends to take care of around the house, recipes to try and cleaning tasks to stop putting off). Of course, I'll need to break up all of that productivity with a little R&R (aka retail therapy) — and I've already started bookmarking some of the best Amazon deals.
Popular Amazon deals
Apple AirTags, 4-Pack for $70 (was $99): All-time low
Black+Decker PowerSeries+ 16V Max Cordless Stick Vacuum for $90 (was $100): Close to its lowest price in months
Apple Watch Series 10 for $329 (was $399): All-time low
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper, Queen, for $198 (was $419): Over 50% off
Samsung 65-Inch Class Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV for $398 (was $470): All-time low
What am I eyeing? As someone who travels a good amount, I keep telling myself to invest in Apple AirTags so I'll be able to keep track of my luggage. Well, now's the time, seeing as a four-pack is down to a record-low price. Speaking of record-low prices, this Rubbermaid produce-saver set is down to an all-time low and will keep me from having to toss slimy berries after a day in the fridge. Oh, and as a Philly resident, I'd better start planning for the Super Bowl — this Cosori 6-quart air fryer, currently $30 off, can fit up to 20 wings at a time. (Go Birds!)
There's plenty more where those came from, so keep scrolling to see what you can get on sale. Happy shopping!
In this guide: Best Amazon deals overall | 70% off or more | 50% off or more | $25 and under | All-time low prices | Rare Amazon deals | Best home deals | Best outdoor deals | Best tech deals | Best fashion deals | Best beauty and wellness deals

Tech Stocks Are Under Pressure. Why Some Wall Street Analysts Say That May Not Last

Tech stocks are having a rough day, extending their recent slump amid a sector rotation away from big tech leaders. The Nasdaq lost close to 1% in recent trading, and the S&P 500 slid 0.4% as tech sector losses weighed on the indexes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was little changed as retail and consumer defensive names gained, while Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Nvidia (NVDA) ranked among its weakest performers as all of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks declined. Caution ahead of a speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday, uncertainty about policy changes from the Trump administration, and worries about returns from AI spending have all added to pressures on the sector. However, some Wall Street analysts said they don't expect that to last long. "While some near-term tech volatility is not surprising given the run-up in valuations, we advise investors against becoming overly defensive," UBS said Wednesday. "While we think some caution may be warranted in the more cyclical parts of tech, we remain confident in the broader AI sector's long-term growth and resilience. We recommend investors seek balanced exposure across the AI value chain (infrastructure, semis, and applications), with a preference for laggards offering a more attractive risk-reward balance," UBS said. "We view tech sell-offs like yesterday as opportunities," bullish analysts at Wedbush told clients in a note Wednesday, suggesting the slump could be short-lived, and pointed to earnings from AI chipmaker Nvidia next week as a potential positive catalyst. "When Nvidia reports earnings next week on August 27th the tech world and Wall Street will be listening closely," they said, adding that they believe the "tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years given the trillions being spent on AI."

Why Carvana (CVNA) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

What Happened? Shares of online used car dealer Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) fell 3.8% in the afternoon session after Hertz Global Holdings announced it will begin selling certified used cars on a move that introduces a significant new competitor into the online vehicle market. The move allows shoppers to browse, finance, and purchase Hertz's pre-owned vehicles through the e-commerce giant's platform, Amazon Autos. This development is viewed as a direct challenge to Carvana's online sales model, raising concerns about increased competition in the digital used car market. Investors appear worried that the partnership between Hertz and Amazon could negatively impact Carvana's sales and market share. Furthermore, the new arrangement could lead to fewer of Hertz's used vehicles being sold through the Carvana platform, directly affecting its inventory and sales channels. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Carvana? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Carvana's shares are extremely volatile and have had 42 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was about 22 hours ago when the stock dropped 4.3% on the news that investor apprehension intensified ahead of a key policy speech and perplexing inflation signals clouded the economic outlook, leading to a wider market retreat from growth-oriented stocks. The downturn in the market was largely attributed to a significant sell-off in megacap tech and chipmaker shares. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Broadcom all saw notable drops, dragging down the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. Other major tech-related companies like Tesla, Meta Platforms, and Netflix were also under pressure. A key reason for this trend is that much of the recent market gains have been concentrated in the "AI trade," which includes these large technology and semiconductor companies. So this could also mean that some investors are locking in some gains ahead of more definitive feedback from the Fed. Carvana is up 66.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $331.83 per share, it is still trading 15% below its 52-week high of $390.17 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Carvana's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,638. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Trump calls on Federal Reserve official to resign after ally accuses her of mortgage fraud

Pulte also charged in his letter that Cook has listed her condo in Atlanta, Georgia, for rent. Mortgages for homes used as principal residences typically carry lower interest rates than properties that are purchased to rent, Pulte's letter said. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The allegation represents another front in the Trump administration's attack on the Fed, which has yet to cut its key interest rate as Trump has demanded. If Cook were to step down, then the White House could nominate a replacement. And Trump has said he would only appoint people who would support lower rates. Advertisement The more members of the Fed's governing board that Trump can appoint, the more control he will be able to assert over the Fed, which has long been considered independent from day-to-day politics. Trump will be able to replace Chair Jerome Powell in May 2026, when Powell's term expires. Yet 12 members of the Fed's interest-rate setting committee have a vote on whether to raise or lower interest rates, so even replacing the Chair doesn't guarantee that Fed policy will shift the way Trump wants. Advertisement All seven members of the Fed's governing board, however, are able to vote on rate decisions. The other five voters include the president of the Fed's New York branch and a rotating group of four of the presidents of the Fed's other 11 regional branches. Trump appointed two members of the Fed's board in his first term, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman. Both dissented July 30 from the central bank's decision to keep its rate unchanged in favor of a rate cut. Another Fed governor, Adriana Kugler, stepped down unexpectedly Aug. 1, and Trump has appointed one of his economic advisers, Stephen Miran, to fill out the remainder of her term until January. If Trump is able to replace Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed's board, as well as Kugler and Powell, that would give him a clear majority on the board of governors. Powell, however, could stay on the board after finishing his term as chair next May. The Federal Reserve declined to comment on the accusation. Trump has for months demanded that the Federal Reserve reduce the short-term interest rate it controls, which currently stands at about 4.3%. He has also repeatedly insulted Powell, who has said that the Fed would like to see more evidence of how the economy evolves in response to Trump's sweeping tariffs before making any moves. Powell has also said the duties threaten to raise inflation and slow growth. Advertisement Trump says that a lower rate would reduce the government's borrowing costs on $37 trillion in debt and boost the housing market by reducing mortgage rates. Yet mortgage borrowing costs do not always follow the Fed's rate decisions. The Trump administration has made similar claims of mortgage fraud against Democrats that Trump has attacked, including California Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
