Amazon Prime Day starting on Tuesday will be a litmus test of U.S. shoppers' spending power, with the earlier-than-usual sales event increasingly centered on perishable groceries, household basics and back-to-school needs rather than carefree splurges. The four-day blitz running June 23 to 26, comes after Amazon shifted it from July, citing a calendar crowded by the FIFA World Cup and the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. What shoppers add to their carts is as important as how much they spend, helping gauge whether recent U.S. consumer resilience is holding or beginning to crack.

Analysts expect S&P 500 companies’ earnings growth to top 20% for a second consecutive quarter in the current period, in part because of soaring profits by semiconductor makers and other AI-infrastructure companies. This combination has worked wonders for corporate earnings broadly.
