BERKELEY, Calif. (KRON) -- The California State Assembly has approved a bill that allows the City of Berkeley to continue its housing construction at People's Park.

Best Buy and the reluctant shopper. Sales fall as Americans pull back on spending

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:08:46 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Sales and profits at Best Buy slid in the second quarter as the nation’s largest consumer electronics chain continues to wrestle with a pullback in spending after Americans splurged during the pandemic.The decline in sales was smaller than what Wall Street had anticipated, however, and profits were better than expected, sending shares higher in early trading. The U.S. job market has remained resilient, but Americans are facing higher prices and more expensive credit with the Federal Reserve hiking benchmark interest rates to combat inflation. It’s more expensive to take out loans for appliances, cars and houses, or to use a credit card. As a result, consumers have become reluctant to spend unless there is a sale. They’re being more selective with what they will buy and, in many cases, trading down to buy cheaper stuff.Retailers including Best Buy are also now bracing for the impact from the ending of the student loan moratorium, which had provided one-tim...
