Fresh fruits and veggies are in for Americans; canned versions of ’em are out. That’s bad news for this 138-year-old packaged goods brand, which miscalculated the demand for its shelf-stable items during the pandemic and ramped up production, only to be left with excess inventory and a massive pile of debt, leading it to file for bankruptcy. Get your canned peaches while you can!

The markets yesterday suddenly sounded a lot more like early April, with high tariffs being bandied about and stocks moving lower. But the damage was much less severe than the drubbing that followed Liberation Day, as traders seem to keep hope that the sequel to the Rose Garden Rout and Rebound will have a similar happy ending. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 closed down 0.8%, while the Russell 2000 slumped 1.5%. Every S&P 500 sector ETF fell except for utilities, with consumer discretionary faring the worst.

Amazon’s Prime Day sales event this year will stretch from July 8 through 11 and be available across 26 countries (its widest reach to date), but the real action isn’t actually the sales generated — it’s the out-and-out loyalty elicited from those lucrative Prime subscribers. 

Early forecasts are bullish: Adobe Analytics expects the event to generate a record $23.8 billion in US sales.

But analysts indicate Prime Day’s importance stretches beyond the four-day event. The sale is expected to give Amazon an early boost on back-to-school and college shopping, helping it lock in spending before the busier fall shopping season kicks off.

It’s Amazon vs. Walmart. The winner? Maybe bargain-hunting consumers. The losers? Any non-billion-dollar online stores trying to sell stuff over the next week.

President Trump’s trade strategy in his first term was, in a sentence, leveraging the economic power of the United States directly against China. In his second term? Not so much. 

So, what’s it mean? The current face-off is less one focused directly on the US’s largest rival, but has rather become a multifront trade war with more ambiguous goals. 

It’s something to keep in mind as the initial 90-day watering down of reciprocal tariffs on most nations is poised to expire tomorrow, with the Trump administration simultaneously saying that more trade deals are coming imminently, warning other countries of higher tariff rates, and also indicating the deadline for collecting these levies will be pushed back to August 1.

Tomorrow, cloud-monitoring software provider Datadog will take the place of Juniper Networks in the benchmark US stock index. With trillions of dollars invested in ETFs that track the index, getting your company into the S&P 500 is a big deal. 

So, how do you join the club? One common misconception is that it’s simply the 500 largest stocks — it’s not, as you can see by our table showing much bigger companies that aren’t in the index. The criteria that Standard and Poor’s evaluates are a little more complex.
