POSITIVE IMPACT
Amazon's Prime Day saw $7.2 billion in consumer spending on the first day, exceeding estimates despite a marketing portal outage. However, Amazon shares are down 3.3%.
The record spending on Prime Day is a positive indicator for Amazon's revenue, but the reported outage and the current drop in share price suggest mixed short-term impacts. The overall positive sales performance is likely to outweigh the temporary technical issues.
