This Year’s Prime Day Will Be an Important Test of Whether or Not Consumers Are Willing to Ignore the Pinch of Rising Prices and Spend in the Face of Four-decade-long Inflation Rates.

Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, announced a two-day discount event for paying customers of its quick shipping and video streaming services on July 12 and 13.

For investors, Amazon’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) first quarterly loss in seven years is likely to be a cause for optimism, since the internet giant reported increasing inflation and supply-chain constraints as the main reasons for the deficit. Instead of the second quarter, the event will take place in the third quarter this year.

About $3.5 billion will be sold on Prime Day in 2021, according to Deutsche Bank analysts. In premarket trade on Thursday, Amazon AMZN +5.24 percent stock was down 2.79 percent from its year-to-date lows.
