Swanson asked "Consumers will feel these price hikes at the grocery store especially for products where we rely on imports to meet year-round consumer demand,'' Ortega told USA TODAY Shoppers' demand for fresh fruits twelve months a year is part of the reason why the United States imports many of them "We rely on international trade and imports for agricultural products in order to meet year-round consumer demand for a lot of these items," Ortega said The United States can't grow some of the products domestically it’s cheaper to import food than to grow it domestically though a small amount of coffee is grown in Hawaii "we don't grow enough coffee domestically to be able to meet consumer demand," he said "So those things that are facing 10% tariffs you will see the price go up," Ortega said He added that: "low-income households are affected the most since they spend a higher portion of their disposable income on food." Some retailers may still increase the price of a product even if the product itself wasn't subject to a tariff vice president and food insights lead for NielsenIQ Manufacturers have something called "industry price gap management," which is the comparison of the price of their product versus their competitor Even if you're a completely U.S.-based food product "if all your competitors' prices are going up because they're affected by a tariff.. a food product may have been made in the United States but the packaging or other ingredients to make the food may be imported 81% of consumers surveyed said they were somewhat familiar with the effect of tariffs on grocery prices and 73% believed the tariffs would impact the price of groceries The survey was conducted when tariff discussion was only surrounding Canada and Mexico and before the reciprocal tariffs were announced then paused and the hefty tariffs on China were implemented especially as the tariff policies have changed There is a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada unless they are products covered under an agreement called the United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement (USMCA) and a 10% baseline tariff on all imported goods from other countries There is a 145% tariff on goods imported from China including those coming from Mexico and China and covered under the USMCA agreement But then the president backed off that decision saying the USCMCA-covered goods would not be tariffed there was a 90-day pause on any reciprocal tariffs beyond the 10% Some agricultural and food products are covered under the USMCA but it is difficult to distinguish which products are currently coming in with or without tariffs because there's an extra cost and hassle for importers to verify themselves under the USMCA And many are having to wait and see what other tariffs might happen "I think a lot of people just have no idea what is what is tariffed and what isn't tariffed," Costagli said The United States grows and produces a lot of food products and is a huge net surplus producer which means "we need to take that product out to the global markets We just produce too much of it," said Michael Swanson Chief Agricultural Economist at Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute We export about 15% of our poultry overseas and about 20% of our pork overseas that would have to stay in the domestic market and could actually depress prices," he said "So we might actually see pork and poultry prices come down as the market has to sell it in America first before they can reduce the supply on an ongoing basis," he said Consumers can try to save money by sticking to foods that are grown produced or manufactured in the United States – and there's a lot of them There will still be some things that they will have to pay more for if there is no substitution or if they're not willing to trade for a different product champagne from the Champagne region of France or Parmesan cheese that only comes from Parma But there are growers of parmesan cheese in Wisconsin and that product is cheaper than the Parma Consumers may consider other substitutions like trying bourbon from Kentucky instead of scotch from Scotland which could increase in price due to tariffs Study: Consumers worried about tariffs are pulling back on spending Here are some food products that could see price increases ◾Bananas: nearly all bananas consumed in the United States are imported (from countries like Guatemala ◾Coffee: Outside of Hawaii and Puerto Rico the United States does not grow much coffee Tariffs would hit virtually the entire supply – we import coffee from Brazil ◾Olive oil: The vast majority of olive oil consumed in the United States is imported but that is relatively negligible when you look at the full supply offers these tips to

The Trump administration has had to defend its decision to apply a 145 percent tariff on Chinese products raising concerns about the severe impact on pricing that the tariffs will cause Chinese online marketplace Temu has halted shipments directly from China to the United States as the U.S government eliminated the "de minimis" exception for Chinese goods which would have exempted shipments under $800 from the tariffs Trump underscored his defense of the tariffs saying: "Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally." Trump made the comment after Meet the Press host Kristen Welker pressed him about how the cost of specific items—including tires strollers and clothing—have increased "in the wake of your tariffs." "That's peanuts compared to energy," the president responded Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller some place," Trump continued adding that mortgage rates are going down "despite the fact we have a stubborn Fed." Welker continued to ask the president on the potential impact of tariffs referring to his quote about dolls and asking if it was an acknowledgement of the potential cost of tariffs on everyday goods "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls," Trump said "I think they can have three dolls or four dolls because what we were doing with China was unbelievable We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China." Trump added that he's not saying Americans will see "empty store shelves," but rather that "they don't need to have 250 pencils They can have five," later saying that "we don't need to feed the beast." The tariff concerns remain even as the Trump administration received great news from the jobs market, with April's jobs report show that the U.S. added 177,000 jobs which has fueled fears of an oncoming recession Speaking on the matter of such contrasting elements within the same economy I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy He did a terrible job on everything from his auto pen some of the things he was supposedly signing..." but I've only just been here for a little more than three months look at what's happened in the last short period of time." "Didn't it have nine or 10 days in a row or 11 days where it's gone up and the tariffs have just started kicking in and we're doing really well," Trump continued the fake news was giving me such press on the tariffs Welker: When does it become the trump economy? Trump: It partially is right now, and I really mean this. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy pic.twitter.com/mjmnTWlPDh Welker took the opportunity to also address the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arrested in 2019 and accused of being a member of the MS-13 gang which the Trump administration has designated a foreign terrorist organization Abrego Garcia and his legal team have denied he is a member of the gang based on confidential information provided to the court He was shielded from deportation to El Salvador because he said he would be targeted by MS-13's gangland rivals who lived in Maryland with his wife and children was deported to El Salvador in March after being arrested in what the Trump administration lawyers said was an "administrative error." His family denies any ties to gangs and Abrego Garcia has no criminal record in the U.S. although his wife accused him of domestic violence and obtained a restraining order against him He has been ordered to return to the U.S. by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis and a recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court instructed the Trump administration to "facilitate" Garcia's release and return, but the White House has resisted efforts Trump recently said he could bring Abrego Garcia back but would not do so. He also said it "wouldn't bother" him to bring Abrego Garcia back stateside but said he ultimately is letting the Department of Justice (DOJ) determine the next steps When Welker pressed him on his comments about the situation and the limits of his power to affect the situation he reiterated his view that ultimately the DOJ will determine what happens And they're not viewing the decision the way you said it They think it's a totally different decision." Trump added: "I have the power to ask for him to come back if I'm instructed by the attorney general that it's legal to do so but the decision as to whether or not he should come back will be the head of El Salvador is a very capable man." Ahmed Baba, co-founder and president of Rantt Media, wrote on X, formerly Twitter on Sunday: "While Trump proudly raises prices on Americans and preaches scarcity he is grifting hundreds of millions of dollars in his crypto ventures as he directly profits off the presidency Just an unprecedented level of corruption while he economically harms everyday Americans." Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer told Fox Business on Friday that Trump "mentioned to the American people over and over again that the Golden Age was coming I will tell you the Golden Age is here...This is another great jobs' report...Better than expected." asked whether he was concerned about empty shelves recently told Fox & Friends: "Not at present .. and then we will see how quickly the Chinese want to de-escalate." The impact of the U.S. tariffs on Chinese products are expected to start taking effect in around five to seven weeks after ports work through already stockpiled goods, with Port of Los Angeles Director Gene Seroka saying he expects to see "less choice and higher prices" once the tariff effects kick in ET: This article has been updated with additional information Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground Newsweek is committed to journalism that is factual and fair We value your input and encourage you to rate this article Newsletters in your inbox See all University Affairs Utah State University has announced a new Net Price Calculator — a modern mobile-friendly platform that helps students and families understand what they may pay to attend college “The college decision is one of the most important financial decisions a student and family will ever make,” said Craig Whyte executive director of Student Financial Support “We wanted a tool that goes beyond compliance — one that empowers students with personalized The new calculator, built in partnership with Meadow replaces USU’s previous calculator and provides an intuitive user-friendly experience that calculates net price based on a student’s unique financial and academic situation USU’s new Net Price Calculator is designed for all prospective undergraduate and graduate students — whether they’re full-time “We know cost can be a barrier — or at least a major concern,” said Ian Anderson executive director of Enrollment Strategy and Innovation “By providing students and families with accurate we’re removing confusion and building trust That’s what college cost transparency is all about.” While the U.S. Department of Education requires all Title IV institutions to provide a net price calculator, USU’s new solution goes further. It aligns fully with the College Cost Transparency Initiative (CCTI) led by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) and fairness in college cost communication Utah State University was the first USHE institution to join the College Cost Transparency Initiative and this new tool further strengthens USU’s desire to provide accurate and transparent information Meadow’s platform also provides valuable insights to USU administrators These insights support ongoing efforts to improve access and affordability across the state “Students are more likely to apply when they see what college actually costs — and how affordable it can be with aid,” Anderson said “This tool helps us connect with students early and support their journey to enrollment.” The new Net Price Calculator is available at usu.edu/financial-support/coa.

Temu would additionally face blowback from the proposal to end the de minimis exemption a provision that generally exempts shipments into the U.S worth less than $800 from additional customs review and duties Temu and its fast fashion competitor Shein are known for their cheap prices and have benefited from this exemption Shein said it would raise prices to account for the tariff impact Shein and Temu’s customer notices were identical with the exception of their respective brand names neither company confirmed the extent of the cost increases A Shein spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment While Temu has lost a significant revenue stream it’s uncertain whether this will be temporary or long term “Temu will likely face margin pressure as these suppliers attempt to unload this excess inventory outside of the U.S.,” Balaam said “In addition Temu has gone hard on recruiting U.S suppliers to adopt its platform for the U.S which brings them head to head with the likes of Amazon & Walmart.” Shein may not feel the impacts of the closing of the de minimis loophole as strongly since Shein’s apparel products remain competitive from a pricing standpoint in the U.S “Shein’s more limited categories of products and perhaps better product data systems will have allowed it to continue shipping to the U.S whereas the opposite may have been the case for Temu’s parcels which could be a huge reason why Temu decided to stop shipping Chinese imports to the U.S.,” Balaam said Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts 3G Capital is paying $63 per share in

a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.29 The national average currently sits at $3.16 per gallon which is about two cents higher than a week ago but ten cents less than a month ago and nearly fifty cents less than a year ago Idaho remains in 10th place this week for the most expensive fuel with the highest price being paid in California ($4.78) and today’s cheapest price in Mississippi ($2.65) “Significant drops in the cost of crude oil are keeping pump prices in check but fuel demand is expected to surge as we approach the Memorial Day weekend,” says AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde “We’ll happily save what we can for as long as we can.” The West Texas Intermediate benchmark for crude oil is currently trading near $57 per barrel Crude oil makes up more than half of the price of finished gasoline and a sustained drop in crude prices could translate to additional savings at the pump this week “We always remind people to do their homework on fuel rewards points whether it’s for buying groceries at a particular retailer or as an incentive on a particular credit card,” Conde said “Those discounts can make a big difference in the weekly travel budget.”

The yield is close to the 15% yield targeted by Strategy in 2025 Strategy’s gains on its Bitcoin investments also reached $5.8 billion in line with its annual target of $10 billion Saylor said that the company has doubled its capital plan to $42 billion in equity and $42 billion in fixed income to purchase more Bitcoin Magazine: Crypto wanted to overthrow banks, now it’s becoming them in stablecoin fight Her focus is on polling and California politics including the 2024 election and pro-Palestine protests at U.S Martha joined Newsweek in 2024 from The Independent and had previously freelanced at The Sun She is a graduate of Durham University and did her NCTJ at News Associates You can get in touch with Martha by emailing m.mchardy@newsweek.com Homebuyers looking for bargains may want to set their sights on the Sun Belt cities where home prices are dropping the fastest sellers in these markets are increasingly slashing prices to attract buyers offering a rare opening in an otherwise tough housing market especially during the pandemic housing boom cities are seeing price corrections as inventory climbs and buyers pull back This has led some analysts to warn that the housing market could be heading into a prolonged downturn A fall in prices could help aspiring buyers the trend may signal tougher conditions ahead Realtor.com data shows that nine of the 10 U.S cities with the most home price cuts are in the Sun Belt about one-third of North Port and Tampa listings saw price drops followed by more than 28 percent in Cape Coral and over 27.5 percent in Jacksonville is the only city outside the Sun Belt to make the list Each of these cities has seen a sharp rise in housing inventory compared to last year ranging from nearly 28 percent in Palm Bay to 65 percent in Denver Phoenix tops the list with 31 percent of home listings seeing price cuts The city currently has nearly 19,981 properties on the market a 33 percent increase in inventory compared to last year and homes typically stay on the market for 52 days North Port follows with 30 percent of listings reduced in price and homes are averaging 70 days on the market 29 percent of listings have seen price reductions with 28 percent of homes seeing price cuts Homes in the area are taking longer to sell—about 81 days on average with a median list price of $399,995 and an average of 57 days on the market Denver reports 27 percent of listings with price reductions amid a sharp 65 percent jump in inventory with properties spending just 36 days on the market—the fastest among the top 10 cities Inventory rose 28 percent to 4,562 properties Deltona also saw 27 percent of homes marked down with a median asking price of $394,450 and an average market time of 70 days Twenty-six percent of Austin's 11,073 listings have been reduced in price Homes sell slightly faster than most on the list Charleston reports 26 percent of listings with price drops Inventory surged 42 percent to 3,542 homes; the median price is $525,000 Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones said: "As inventory builds up pushing sellers to reduce their asking price to drum up some buyer attention Buyers are in a good position to negotiate in these markets Sellers will likely be flexible and willing to negotiate price or terms to be favorable for both parties." formerly Twitter: "Florida's housing market is in a housing downturn and will likely continue to drop for years due to an oversupply of housing combined with record lack of affordability."

With a market cap of $28.9 billion, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL) is a major U.S airline that provides scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo both domestically and internationally with its airline segment generating the majority of revenues while its refinery division supports the airline with jet fuel production and third-party agreements Shares of the Atlanta, Georgia-based company have lagged behind the broader market over the past 52 weeks. DAL has declined 11.1% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied 10.2% shares of Delta Air Lines are down 24.2% on a YTD basis Focusing more closely, Delta Air Lines has underperformed the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLI) 9.7% return over the past 52 weeks Shares of Delta Air Lines climbed 23.4% on Apr. 9 as the company reported Q1 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.46 exceeding the consensus estimate and marking a 2.2% year-over-year increase driven by a 17% increase in cargo revenues to $208 million and a 3% year-over-year rise in passenger revenues to $11.5 billion Delta’s adjusted operating cash flow stood at $2.4 billion and the company reduced its planned capacity growth for the second half of 2025 to flat year-over-year to protect margins For the fiscal year ending in December 2025, analysts expect DAL’s EPS to decline 17.1% year-over-year to $5.11 The company's earnings surprise history is mixed It topped the consensus estimates in two of the last four quarters while missing on two other occasions Among the 21 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Strong Buy.” That’s based on 18 “Strong Buy” ratings and three “Holds.”  This configuration is less bullish than three months ago On Apr. 9, Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on Delta Air Lines to $88 but maintained an “Overweight” rating DAL is trading below the mean price target of $59.05 The Street-high price target of $88 implies a potential upside of 92.9% from the current price levels Michigan gas prices jumped up in the past week said Monday that "drivers across Michigan are seeing higher prices at the pump as we enter the month of May." the price was 5 cents less than a month ago and 40 cents less than a year ago Metro Detroit’s gas price average was $3.17 a gallon with the highest gas price averages in Lansing Other factors that affect gasoline prices are: refining costs about 25%; distribution and marketing costs according to the oil and natural gas industry trade group West Texas Intermediate, a benchmark representing oil produced in the United States, has been trading below $60 a barrel But some analysts have said that could be a sign of looming economic trouble reduced tax revenues and broader economic consequences." The energy publication added that falling oil prices also could "worsen the U.S trade deficit — the very thing that tariffs are supposedly being used to fix," and it added "the loudest advocates for tariffs — arguing they’ll fix our trade imbalance — are also cheering falling oil prices." Trump largely dismissed those concerns on "Meet the Press," telling moderator Kristen Welker in an interview from his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach that "many businesses are being helped" by the tariffs repeatedly claiming throughout the broadcast that the prices "are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline," and are "down to $1.98 in many states right now." More: Gas prices fall below $3 a gallon in Michigan, but analysts warn drop may not last noting that "nowhere in this country is gas $1.98." The average price of gas nationally on Sunday was $3.17 a gallon, according to AAA, and GasBuddy, which tracks prices at more than 150,000 stations, told CBS News in late April that it was aware of no station in the nation selling gas at $1.98 a gallon Contact Frank Witsil: 313-222-5022 or fwitsil@freepress.com This story was updated to correct a unit of measurement per dollar figure with Briumvi net revenues rising to $119.7m prompting an increase in full-year revenue guidance.Despite a >15% drop in stock value post-earnings TGTX shares remain up significantly over 6 months reflecting strong market performance.Briumvi competes well against major MS therapies and a promising subcutaneous version in development.Concerns include potential tariffs on South Korean manufacturing and the company's current lack of focus on profitability despite strong TGTX revenue growth and market potential TG Therapeutics, Inc.

If I weren’t president, nobody would be settling.” which has become the single greatest investment of my four-decade career is my choice for top CEO at an up-and-coming tech name and may be my choice for top CEO at any firm of any kind it seems unreal to refer to a stock trading at $122 a share and at a market cap of $274 billion as an "up and comer." which continues on in spirit in my columns was in this name since it bore a $6 handle Between that portfolio and when that product ended (when I was able to buy the shares for myself with a $16 handle) we have been long this name continuously to this day.  I was asked by Liz Claman in a studio interview broadcast at Fox Business what was the one stock that I would tell investors to buy I told Claman that I could not tell others what to buy but I will tell others that I am buying PLTR for myself for my kids and for future generations of Guilfoyles I have since shaved my long equity position at target prices when met and reloaded even more shares than I had sold on selloffs.  It's how one builds a position in a stock that seems only to rise I sold shares with a $113 handle in February and bought back two and a half times the number of shares sold from $102 down to $68 we are running higher into earnings which is something I never really like but it's a key component of risk management We'll hear from Palantir on Monday afternoon Wall Street expects the firm to put a GAAP EPS of $0.07 to the tape for its first quarter adjusted up to $0.13 on revenue of more than $862 million This would be just above the projected sales of $860 million at the midpoint that the firm had guided investors toward Performance like this would be up from the year-ago comparison of $0.08 (adjusted) on year-over-year revenue growth of nearly 36% This would also continue the acceleration of the firm's year-over-year growth in sales sequential from 19.6% to 20.8% to 27.2% and to 30% over the prior four quarters of the 12 sell-side analysts that I know that cover the stock all 12 have increased their estimates for Palantir since the start of the quarter Bloomberg News reported that a new mobile intelligence gathering vehicle and trailer produced for the U.S Army had been ranked as one of the Army's top-performing programs Army spokesperson Brandon Pollachek was quoted as having written:  "TITAN demonstrates how the Army is leveraging modern acquisition and contracting approaches through use of Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) and soldier-centered design and is a great example of a non-traditional software company competing for and successfully becoming the prime vendor for a software centric "There have been three prototypes delivered so far the Army is assessing the number of TITANs as we exercise prototypes and evaluate where they will be needed in the future structure of the Army."  Army confirmed that a Palantir subsidiary had been awarded a two-year contract to begin Phase 3 of its next generation targeting program Army’s next-generation deep-sensing capability platform It uses Palantir's AI and machine learning capabilities to allow shooters in the field necessary support beyond simple line-of-sight targeting.  That $178.4 million award is for the development of 10 TITAN prototypes, including five advanced and five basic versions, as well as the integration of new critical technologies and then the transition to the field. Palantir beat out RTX (RTX) RTX had worked alongside Palantir on Phase 2 This is the chart that I showed readers less than two weeks ago I explained that what had been a falling-wedge pattern of bullish reversal had morphed into a double-bottom pattern of bullish reversal with a $98 pivot I increased our target price from $116 to $122 On Friday morning PLTR took out that target Why do we act when our target prices are taken out Because we'll feel pretty foolish if a stock trades at our target and then sells off and we did not sell any Nothing makes me angrier than feeling foolish I will make a small sale with the expectation that I will be able to at some point add what I sold plus maybe a little more at a lower price This strategy has worked beautifully in this stock for years now I will be adjusting my target price higher for Palantir Technologies for the lion's share of my position Add: Down to 50-day SMA (currently $91.50) Panic: Loss of 200-day SMA (currently $64.40) Note: My new $153 target price is now the highest target price for this name on Wall Street by a wide margin This target is a 22.4% premium to the $125 targets shares by Mark Schappel of Loop Capital Mariana Perez Mora of Bank of America and TheStreet Pro's own Chris Versace.  Simple: Because if the stock stops going higher here then our beautiful double-bottom breakout would morph into a much scarier

involving the latest Ripple SEC lawsuit news As of Tuesday, May 6, XRP is priced at $2.18, with the altcoin navigating a narrow band between $2.13 and $2.17. Despite recent losses and subdued sentiment in the derivatives market, technical patterns and long-term forecasts paint a potentially bullish picture According to crypto analyst EWCycles, XRP may be gearing up for a powerful third wave of an Elliott Wave formation—a move that could propel the token as high as $12 between 2025 and 2026 This forecast represents a possible 2,900% increase from recent lows XRP is eyeing a strong upward continuation, aiming for a long-anticipated surge toward the $12 mark. Source: EWT via X EWCycles emphasized the importance of XRP forming higher highs and higher lows within an emerging ascending channel “The technical setup points to a long-term uptrend especially if XRP maintains support above $2,” the analyst noted downside pressure could push the XRP value toward $1.96 Ripple XRP news from the blockchain reveals that major players are accumulating significant amounts of the token. Over the past month, wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP have amassed 440 million tokens, suggesting strong confidence among institutional holders Whales have snapped up 630M XRP in a month, signaling strong bullish expectations ahead. Source: Trader Edge via X “Whales often accumulate in quiet markets,” said a Santiment analyst “It’s a sign that they’re positioning ahead of a potential rally.” data also shows a recent decline in large XRP transactions—particularly those exceeding $100,000 and $1 million—potentially indicating a pause in aggressive accumulation as $4.89 million in long positions were liquidated within 24 hours reflecting waning bullish conviction in the short term XRP is breaking out of its yo-yo phase with a bullish Reverse Dragon pattern that could launch it past $3 in the coming weeks. Source: MetaShackle on TradingView Market analysts are keeping a close eye on $2.35 and the upper resistance band between $2.45 and $2.50 A daily close above these levels could trigger renewed momentum toward the psychological $3 mark potentially bringing the Ripple market into a new phase called the sequence of events “potentially strategic.” He added “This may be the beginning of the end for the XRP SEC lawsuits.” The potential dismissal of the appeal or an ETF approval could act as a powerful catalyst for XRP price movement “A resolution would not only remove regulatory overhang,” said Dan Tapiero of 10T Holdings “but also unlock real upside for the Ripple currency price.” traders could see the next line of defense at $2.00 or even $1.95 XRP was trading at around $2.18 at press time. Source: XRP Liquid Index (XRPLX) via Brave New Coin Crypto.news noted that XRP derivatives volume has climbed 24% recently, but open interest has remained nearly flat. This divergence suggests indecision among traders as they await clarity from the legal front and the XRP lawsuit update looming in June the $2 level remains the line in the sand—one that could determine whether XRP breaks new ground or falls back into consolidation Brave New Coin reaches 500,000+ engaged crypto enthusiasts a month through our website, podcast, newsletters, and YouTube.

Learn more Microsoft has announced a series of price increases for its Xbox consoles hardware will see significant price changes based on country/region Microsoft has also confirmed it will begin launching some first-party games at $79.99 this year A post on the Xbox support page details the adjusted prices for consoles These prices vary across the United States We’ve included the US price changes in this article and recommend our international readers visit the support page to view the pricing updates for their respective countries Additionally, Xbox announces that certain upcoming first-party games will retail at $79.99 beginning this holiday season. This will apply to physical and digital versions. Xbox also confirms that existing releases will not see a price change. These software price adjustments are the first to follow Nintendo’s $80 pricing for its upcoming Mario Kart World As of now, there are no confirmed Xbox first-party releases for the holiday season. We’ll likely find out which games will be the first to receive this updated pricing during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 Microsoft comments on why it’s making these changes in the post “We understand that these changes are challenging and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and ensuring value for Xbox players.” Xbox’s price adjustments are the latest in a series of price increases for hardware and software across the industry due to current economic conditions (caused at least partially by the United States tariffs). Earlier this month, Sony raised prices for the PlayStation 5 console family in Europe and other non-US territories citing “a challenging economic environment including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates.” Nintendo fans have also felt sticker shock at the Switch 2’s $449/$499 pricing. Nintendo delayed the US pre-order date for the Switch 2 in response to a round of US tariffs before announcing price increases for Switch 2 accessories What do you make of Xbox's price adjustments How do you feel about the state of game pricing across the industry Be among the first to get details on the new magazine and membership Create account Gold prices opened the week with strong gains dollar and investor focus on the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting drove fresh buying interest Last week’s successful retest of the key retracement zone between $3228.38 and $3164.23 confirmed the persistence of the “buy the dip” strategy setting the stage for a push toward the next technical pivot at $3351.08 At 10:18 GMT, XAU/USD is trading $3312.65 making gold cheaper for holders of other currencies This decline followed weaker-than-expected U.S which intensified bets on upcoming Fed rate cuts said that the slowing dollar is reinforcing gold’s appeal especially as inflation and geopolitical tensions remain in play While the Federal Reserve is expected to keep rates unchanged at Wednesday’s meeting traders will be closely watching the updated economic projections and speeches from Fed officials for clues on the timing and scale of potential rate cuts with President Trump reiterating his call for the Fed to ease monetary policy though confirming Jerome Powell will remain Fed Chair through 2026 Gold continues to benefit from its role as a non-yielding hedge during periods of inflation risk and policy uncertainty Trump’s remarks on active trade talks with multiple countries add another layer of support for gold’s safe-haven demand pointing to strong central bank gold purchases recession risk as factors likely to keep gold outperforming silver in the near term This level may act as resistance on the first test potentially forming a lower high if momentum fades a sustained move above $3351.08 could trigger another leg higher turning that level into support and setting the path toward a retest of the record high at $3500.20 With dovish expectations surrounding Fed policy and solid demand fundamentals the near-term outlook for gold remains bullish More Information in our Economic Calendar based seasoned technical analyst and educator with over 40 years of experience in market analysis and trading specializing in chart patterns and price movement He is the author of two books on technical analysis and has a background in both futures and stock markets XRP News Today: Bearish Turn Amid Political Heat and Settlement Hopes; BTC at $94k Gold (XAUUSD) & Silver Price Forecast: Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid Mixed U.S Pi Network Shills Caught Lying About BNP Paribas Partnership — Will PI Coin Crash Further Dax Index News: Will Earnings and Trade Data Shift the DAX Forecast US Dollar Forecast: DXY Vulnerable to Further Losses if ISM Data Misses Expectations Stocks are opening lower on Wall Street and crude prices are falling to a four-year low after the OPEC+ group of oil-producing nations said it plans to increase output The S&P 500 slid 0.7 percent early Monday The benchmark index is coming off its ninth straight gain The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 175 points The Nasdaq composite gave back 0.7 percent Berkshire Hathaway slumped 5 percent after legendary investor Warren Buffett announced over the weekend that he would step down as CEO by the end of the year after six decades at the helm.
