Amazon Prime Day to gauge US consumer strain as focus shifts to basics

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.

Amazon quietly building a moat to outlast the AI boom

The AI surge has already transformed the way investors see Amazon. The company was no longer an e-commerce powerhouse with a cloud business attached.

Amazon points to water conservation steps in India amid data centre scrutiny

Amazon said on Friday its Indian operations had reached a major milestone in ‌water conservation, at a time when global tech giants face increasing pressure ‌over their expansion of resource-hungry AI data centres. The U.S.-based company announced it had turned "water positive" in ​India this year - meaning it returns more water to communities than it uses across its operations, which include data centres, corporate offices and warehouses. Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet's Google are among companies that are facing shareholder and activist pushback ⁠over the environmental impact of data centre projects, Reuters reported earlier this year.

Turbocharged Earnings Are Pushing Stocks Higher. There’s a Catch.

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.
