Amazon's Prime Day will be twice as long this year as tariffs push shoppers to look for deals
Amazon has set this year's Prime Day shopping event for July 8 to 11. At four days, that's twice as long as last year's Prime Day. The summer sale comes as many shoppers are looking for deals to beat tariff-related cost hikes. Amazon's Prime Day this year will be twice as long as in 2024. It could be a welcome sight for shoppers worried about tariffs. The retail giant said Tuesday that this summer's Prime Day deals event will last four days from July 8 to 11, compared to two days last year. The discounts will apply to a range of products, from school supplies to electronics to snacks, Amazon said. The company plans to release deals on specific brands each day at midnight Pacific time. Amazon also aims to keep shoppers on its website with new deals "dropping as often as every five minutes during select periods," the company said. Amazon's longer Prime Day comes as many consumers are more focused on deals than they have been in a long time. The prospect of higher prices from tariffs has pushed even some high-income shoppers to dollar stores to save money, for instance. Others have stocked up over the last few months on products that could become more expensive if the tariffs come into full force. Many companies have said that they plan to raise prices due to tariffs. This year's Prime Day will fall in the same week that President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on many of the tariffs is set to expire. Trump implemented the pause in April after imposing tariffs on goods from various countries. Last month, the US and China agreed to a separate 90-day cut that left US duties on imports from China at 30% instead of 145%. For Amazon, Prime Day serves a couple of important purposes: It encourages more people to pay for a Prime membership and tries to keep them buying stuff through Amazon. A four-day-long Prime Day is also hardly the first time that Amazon has tried to extend a big shopping event. Amazon first offered Prime Day in 2015. Back then — true to its name — it lasted a single day. Prime Day has gotten longer since. Other retailers, like Walmart and Target, have introduced their own sales around the same time of year. Last year, Amazon also offered discounts during its October Prime Big Deal Days event. The deals, which were separate from Amazon's holiday shopping offers, included discounts on many seasonal items, such as chainsaws and camping gear, that sellers were likely trying to move after the summer.

Gold is near an all-time high—here's how much a Costco bar bought a year ago is worth today
Costco's gold bars are worth a lot more than they were a year ago — and demand is soaring. The bars have been a steady draw since Costco began selling them in 2023, and a sharp rise in spot gold prices seems to have boosted their appeal. In May, the retailer tightened purchase restrictions, limiting members to one transaction, capped at a maximum of two bars, per day. As of Tuesday morning, gold traded around $3,390 per ounce — near a recent record high and roughly 45% higher than it was at this time last year. Historically, investors tend to flock to gold during periods of geopolitical instability, inflation and concern over the strength of the U.S. dollar. Here's how much more a 1-ounce gold bar purchased at Costco in June 2024 could be worth today, based on the listed purchase price and Tuesday's opening spot price. If you bought gold from Costco a year ago, you may be considering selling at a profit. But offloading a gold bar isn't as simple as checking the spot price and pocketing the difference. The spot price offers a benchmark for negotiating prices, but sellers typically receive about 5% to 10% less, depending on where and how they sell, says Jon Ulin, a certified financial planner based in Boca Raton, bullion dealers typically offer in-person evaluations and immediate payment, and may pay 1% to 5% below the spot price for a standard 1-ounce gold bar — often more than pawn shops, The Wall Street Journal reported on April 19, 2024. Online buyers may advertise competitive rates, often with the added convenience of insured shipping. In either case, vetting potential buyers on platforms like Yelp, Google or the Better Business Bureau can help you avoid lowball offers, hidden fees or scams. "I would avoid private buyers or marketplaces like eBay or Facebook Marketplace," says Ulin. "You're dealing with a high-value item and there's a risk of encountering less-than-reputable individuals." Any profits you make from selling gold can be taxed at a higher rate than other investments, such as stocks or bonds. The IRS generally classifies physical gold — such as bars, coins or jewelry — as a collectible for tax purposes, Troy Lewis, a certified public accountant and professor of accounting and tax at Brigham Young University, told CNBC on April 30. The "collectible" classification means that federal long-term capital gains on gold can be taxed at a rate of up to 28%, compared to a maximum of 20% for stocks or real estate. If the gold is sold within one year, any profit is taxed as ordinary income, which could mean an even higher rate, depending on the seller's tax bracket. By selling gold, you might unexpectedly "be adding up the tax bill you pay to Uncle Sam," says Bill Shafransky, a New Canaan, Connecticut-based financial advisor.
