When the price increases for PlayStation 5 consoles went into effect on April 2nd, we weren’t sure when the next time a good discount would happen. Surely, not for at least a couple months, right? Well, now just a few weeks later, Sony’s direct-to-consumer site is offering the slim PS5 console with no disc drive for $399. That’s a whopping $200 less than it costs at other retailers. It wasn’t uncommon to see this price in late 2025, but it’s rare these days. PlayStation 5 Digital edition bundle Where to Buy: $599.99 $399.99 at PS Direct (with Fortnite cosmetics) The particular bundle that’s discounted is just like other slim digital PlayStation 5 consoles. You’ll get a PS5, a DualSense controller, a power cord, and an HDMI cord (the vertical stand is sold separately). However, it also includes some Fortnite cosmetics that you can redeem in the free-to-play third-person shooter. As mentioned earlier, the digital-only console doesn’t include a disc drive, but an add-on can be purchased for $79.99 and attached to it for playing discs, be it a game or a 4K Blu-ray. Some other great Verge-approved deals The Fitbit Charge 6 is a well-rounded fitness tracker that we continue to recommend despite it launching in late 2023. It’s full of features, including robust health tracking and gym equipment integration (a first for a Fitbit), along with a slick design that has a colorful screen and a haptic-based side button that’s satisfying to click. If you’re considering a new wearable, it won’t cost you a ton now at Wellbots . The retailer is offering Verge readers a discount that drops the Charge 6 to $109.95 (usually $159.95) with the code VERGECHARGE50 . Read our full review of the Fitbit Charge 6 . In the mix with Sony’s other InZone announcements last week, which included an open-back gaming headset and a 540Hz OLED monitor , it debuted a new transparent purple variant of its excellent InZone Buds wireless gaming earbuds . Those launched for $239.99, but you can already find t...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Tesla’s ( TSLA ) weekly options are pricing in a roughly 6% move following the company’s first-quarter earnings report Wednesday, with the $390 to $400 range emerging as the key battleground ahead of Wednesday’s results.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Tesla’s ( TSLA ) weekly options are pricing in a roughly 6% move following the company’s first-quarter earnings report Wednesday, with the $390 to $400 range emerging as the key battleground ahead of Wednesday’s results. With shares trading around $392 per share at the time of writing, near-the-money straddles suggest traders are preparing for a swing of about $22 to $23 by week’s end. The 390 straddle was valued at roughly $22.1, the 392.5 straddle at about $22.4, and the 395 straddle at approximately $22.8—implying a post-report range of ~$370 on the downside and $414 to $415 on the upside. Tesla is slated to post its Q1 results after market close, followed by a conference call at 5:30 p.m. ET. Investors will be looking for signs that the company can regain momentum after a weaker-than-expected start to the year. Options flow has been heavy on both sides of the tape, indicating investors are positioning for volatility rather than making clean directional bets. However, the structure leans mildly constructive. Call open interest is concentrated at the 400, 410, 420, 430, 440, and 450 strikes, while put open interest clusters at 380, 390, 400, 360, and 350. In all, the positioning suggests traders are paying for downside protection while maintaining upside exposure should Tesla’s ( TSLA ) numbers or guidance deliver a positive surprise.

Click here to find out more » Olemedia/E+ via Getty Images Introduction Markets have been quite confusing recently, with Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and equities stagnating for the better part of six months while precious metals have gone parabolic and crashed, and the altcoin market has been essentially wiped out. Underneath all of it are the overnight borrowing and lending markets, known as repo markets, overseen by the Federal Reserve, that keep the financial system liquid. Lately, however, these markets have been flashing warning signs that most investors are not paying close enough attention to. The underlying strength of Bitcoin lies in its network, which serves as the primary hedge against this systemic instability. Unlike fiat-based currencies, the Bitcoin protocol operates on a fixed supply issuance schedule governed by immutable code rather than discretionary central bank policy. With the network hashrate and difficulty levels currently at all-time highs, the blockchain has reached a state of computational immutability. Source: CoinWarz Bitcoin Hashrate This absolute scarcity makes Bitcoin uniquely sensitive to changes in the global monetary base, acting as a high-velocity sponge for excess liquidity whenever the Federal Reserve is forced to expand its balance sheet. The Macro Backdrop: Excess Liquidity and the Credit Contraction As the Federal Reserve maintained a high Interest on Reserve Balances, commercial banks were incentivized to hoard liquidity, leaving non-bank entities and retail participants starved for yield. This imbalance forced capital into increasingly high-risk markets, including speculative Solana-based assets and artificial intelligence data center equities. During this period, t...

Gary Yeowell Sue Noffke, head of U.K. Equities at Schroders, believes that UK stock ( EWU ), ( FLGB ) valuations remain attractive despite ongoing political uncertainty and global market volatility.

Gary Yeowell Sue Noffke, head of U.K. Equities at Schroders, believes that UK stock ( EWU ), ( FLGB ) valuations remain attractive despite ongoing political uncertainty and global market volatility. In an interview with CNBC, Noffke emphasized that “valuations are still pretty appealing” and noted they are “very appealing further down the size spectrum.” The UK market’s composition provides a natural buffer against domestic economic pressures, with approximately three-quarters of listed companies operating globally. Unlike European exporters, UK firms “operate locally, globally,” maintaining operations directly in regions like the U.S. and Asia rather than simply shipping goods abroad. This structure has also helped insulate many companies from the worst effects of tariff disruptions. Political instability around Westminster continues to weigh on investor sentiment, but Noffke suggested much of this concern may already be reflected in share prices. The domestically oriented mid-cap segment has experienced what she described as a “savage” derating, falling from high-teens valuations to roughly 12x price-to-earnings. “Quite a lot of political risk is priced in,” she observed. Corporate behavior suggests companies themselves recognize the undervaluation. Share buybacks have become prevalent, and international acquirers are showing renewed interest in UK targets. These outside players, according to Noffke, are “prepared to look through that shorter term political smokescreen into the longer-term opportunities.” While the UK market lacks the dominant technology and chipmaking giants driving rallies in U.S. and Asian indices, Noffke reframed this as an opportunity rather than a weakness. She pointed to the abundance of UK companies positioned as “beneficiaries of AI” through cost savings and efficiency gains. From banking to retail to professional services, firms across sectors are actively exploring ways to leverage artificial intelligence to improve their operations and...

According to an SEC filing dated April 20, 2026, AA Financial Advisors, LLC initiated a new position in Dimensional Global Core Plus Fixed Income ETF (NASDAQ:DFGP) by purchasing 152,869 shares. The estimated value of the trade was $8.3 million based on the average closing price during the quarter. Dimensional Global Core Plus Fixed Income ETF is a globally diversified bond fund that invests across U.S. and international fixed income markets. AA Financial Advisors' decision to open a fresh $8.3 million position in DFGP is worth noting, even if it may not signal much. This is a brand-new holding for the firm, added at a moment when fixed income is drawing renewed institutional interest. After years of rock-bottom yields, global bond markets have become a more attractive destination for income-seeking investors, and a diversified fund like DFGP -- which spreads exposure across U.S. and international debt, including both investment-grade and some higher-yielding bonds -- fits neatly into that narrative.
