Prime Day who? We've rounded up 41+ deals from Best Buy, Walmart, Home Depot & more
Amazon may have stolen the spotlight this week with its Prime Day sale, but it would be a big mistake to ignore other key players who are stepping up to the plate with their own set of savings.

Morning bid: 'Tariffs - use this version, please'
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Stella Qiu: It is tariff deadline day and President Donald Trump delivered by slapping fresh levies on imports from dozens of countries, including those that do not have a trade deal yet. Rates were set at 35% for Canada, 25% for India, 20% for Taiwan and 19% for Thailand. Switzerland got a whopping 39% -- one of the steepest -- raising the question: what's Trump got against the Swiss? Not buying enough American chocolate or watches? The big day comes after months of posturing, meetings, delays and truces, which prompted some investors to question what was a real threat and what was a bluff. Indeed, there is still much to be resolved. Arguably, most levies are lower than those threatened on April 2, which back then sent markets into a tailspin. Plus the big trade deals with Japan and the European Union have been reached while talks with China and Mexico are still ongoing. That is probably why market reaction this time has been much more muted. Sure, most Asian shares fell, but only modestly. South Korea is an exception, tumbling over 3%, in part due to domestic tax cuts being rolled back. Taiwan's president said the 20% levy is only temporary and is expected to be reduced further when a deal is reached. Wall Street and European shares did not seem to be too bothered by the tariff news. EUROSTOXX 50 futures slipped 0.3%. Both Nasdaq futures and S&P 500 futures fell 0.2%, thanks to a 6% tumble in Amazon after its earnings failed to meet lofty expectations. Now, with the tariff news out of the way, euro zone flash CPI is due later in the day and expectations are for a slight easing to 1.9% in July from 2.0% in annual terms. Markets have only priced in half a cut from the European Central Bank by early next year. And then it's all about waiting for payrolls, which will be pivotal for hopes for a rate cut from the Federal Reserve in September, which is now priced at just 40%, way off 75% a month ago. Forecasts are centred on a 110,000 rise in July, while the jobless rate likely ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. Any upside surprises could price out the chance of a move next month, giving dollar bulls another reason to rally. The greenback is headed for the best week - with a gain of 2.5% against its peers - in nearly three years, solidifying its recent uptrend from a three-year low. It has found support from a hawkish Fed that has held off policy easing on tariff risks. And indeed, the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation came in a tad hotter overnight, showing some tariff impact. Key developments that could influence markets on Friday: -- Euro zone flash CPI for July -- U.S. payrolls for July, ISM Manufacturing survey Trying to keep up with the latest tariff news?

4 key takeaways from Amazon's Q2 earnings
Amazon's second-quarter earnings beat expectations with $167.7 billion in net sales. Amazon's stock fell 7% after hours. Here are the four main takeaways from the call, from tariffs to Alexa+. Amazon earnings beat expectations in the second quarter, but it wasn't enough to calm investors' concerns over AI competition and its weak profit guidance. On Thursday, the e-commerce giant reported $167.7 billion in net sales and earnings of $1.68 per share, which smashed analyst estimates. Despite the strong results, the company's stock fell 7% in after-hours trading. Investors were spooked by Amazon's profit outlook for the third quarter, which projected operating income between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, against Wall Street's estimate of $19.41 billion. From where Amazon is in the AI race to competition with Starlink, here are our four key takeaways from the Q2 earnings call. 1. Tariff impacts have been limited, so far CEO Andy Jassy said tariffs haven't had a major impact on the business so far in 2025. He cited strong Prime Day sales as evidence that consumer demand remains resilient, though Prime Day was in July after Q2 wrapped. Jassy said on the earnings call that the company hasn't seen "diminishing demand" or "meaningfully appreciating prices" so far, though he said that could change later in the year. He added during an analyst question session that it's still unclear "who's going to end up absorbing the higher costs." Jassy also pointed to Amazon's 2 million third-party sellers as a key advantage, which often offer more flexible prices. "Tariffs appear overstated for now, and Amazon remains the go-to destination for online deals and continues to draw strong consumer and brand engagement," Brent Thill, senior technology research analyst at Jefferies, wrote in a recent note before the earnings report. 2. Competition with Elon Musk's Starlink Jassy said the race for satellite-based broadband internet is now largely a two-player game, between "the incumbent" — widely understood to be Musk's Starlink — and Amazon's own Project Kuiper. On the earnings call, Jassy told investors that price will be a key differentiator for Kuiper, along with Amazon's existing relationships with enterprise and government clients, many of whom are also interested in its AI offerings. While Kuiper has faced delays, Jassy said the service is on track to enter commercial beta later this year or in early 2026. In April, Amazon sent its first batch of 27 Kuiper internet satellites into low Earth orbit. At least 54 crafts are in orbit; Amazon plans a constellation of 3,236 satellites. 3. Excitement around Alexa+ Amazon touted Alexa+, its AI-enabled voice assistant that launched in February, as an action-focused chatbot that can complete tasks that others can't. "She's much more intelligent than her prior self," Jassy said of the improvement over the prior version of Alexa. "She's much more capable, and I would say unlike the other chatbots that are out there today, who are good at answering questions, but really can't take any action for you, Alexa+ can take a lot of action for you." Some examples of what Alexa+ can do include playing music, moving music between devices, drawing curtains, turning lights on, and changing the thermostat temperature, Jassy said. Millions of customers have been given early access to Alexa+, and Jassy told the call that the feedback has been "very positive." Jassy also said that Alexa+ could incorporate advertisements or a subscription element in the future. 4. Jassy was asked if AWS is behind in the AI race Jassy faced tough questions about how AWS is addressing competition from its cloud computing rivals. Brian Nowak, an analyst from Morgan Stanley, asked Jassy to respond to the Wall Street narrative that "AWS is falling behind" in the generative AI race and losing share to its competitors. Jassy said it was "early" in the AI space and that the industry was "top-heavy." He didn't address directly how AWS is responding to competitors, but said he thinks the company is well-positioned as AI adoption expands. "Remember, 85% to 90% of the global IT spend is still on premises. If you believe that equation is going to flip, which I do, and we do, you have a lot of legacy infrastructure that you've got to move," Jassy said.

Is eBay actually sexy again as the ecommerce old-timer's stock surges to an all-time high?
Ebay turns 30 this September and the company is showing some signs that it's starting to turn back the clock. The auction giant's stock surged more than 19% on Thursday to an all-time high of $92 a share on the back of revenue growth and earnings that both surpassed analyst expectations, and an outlook that was far less gloomy than it could have been. That's the top-line good news. The reality check, though, is that Ebay still accounts for less than 4% of the overall e-commerce market in the U.S., compared to around 40% for Amazon, 6% for Walmart, and pressure from a collection of discount or product-specific apps and marketplaces from Temu to Whatnot, a live-streaming commerce startup valued at $5 billion. So what gives? Where is the eBay optimism coming from and is this current moment an aberration and blip or, as the internet analyst Mark Mahaney wrote in a research note on Thursday, 'something of an inflection point'? As Mahaney wrote, eBay's gross volume and revenue growth rates, excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, both rose 4% year-over-year in the past quarter. Those numbers sound meager because they are, but it's the fastest that the commerce marketplace has grown in two years—which is…something. The one-time e-commerce darling has been trying to lean into its historic strengths or 'focus areas'—product categories where it can win—and that seems to be paying off. Those categories grew 10% in the quarter compared to about 1% for everything else. 'Collectibles was once again the largest contributor to growth as year-over-year growth in trading cards GMV accelerated for the 10th straight quarter on the back of continued momentum in both collectible card games and sports trading cards,' CEO Jamie Iannone told analysts on the earnings call. Collectible categories have been booming across the board since the onset of the pandemic, as nostalgia coupled with new shopping experiences and sales tactics drive renewed interest in trading cards like Pokemon as well as sports cards. Startups like Whatnot, Fanatics, and Courtyard, which is selling $50 million in cards and comics a month, are playing a role. But eBay is still the biggest online player in the space and also capitalizing on the consumer interest. To that end, the company is pushing aggressively into live-streaming commerce, with eBay Live, where Fanatics and Whatnot are finding success, and the early signs are encouraging, according to Iannone. 'We have already seen significant evidence that live commerce can deepen engagement among eBay enthusiasts and unlock even greater velocity in our strongest verticals, which validates our continued investment in this experience,' he told analysts. (For what it's worth, top live-streaming card seller Rene Nezhoda, of Storage Wars fame, had this to say about eBay Live when I interviewed him about his business on Whatnot, where he sells $15 million to $18 million a year in sports cards. 'I wouldn't be surprised if eBay Live might become the market leader because they just have such a big user database,' he told Fortune in June.) Ebay's Iannone said his company is also seeing both top-line and bottom-line benefits from integrating the Klarna Buy Now Pay Later payment method into the shopping site, by expanding its on-site advertising business, and by integrating generative and agentic AI experiences into the shopping marketplace for both buyers or sellers, though it's too early to tell how much the latter will boost the business long term. No, eBay isn't immune to the U.S.-China tariff war, though it shouldn't be crippled by it. No, it's not a threat to giants like Amazon and Walmart that specialize in everyday, new goods. But riding hot, historically strong product categories, while keeping up with new industry tablestakes like Gen AI integrations for sellers and buyers, and popular payment types like Klarna, has the 30-year-old company's future looking brighter than it has in a long while. And that's not nothing.
