As the used car market continues to claw its way out of the COVID deficit that it found itself in over the last few years — the reduced production of new cars during the pandemic made it such that fewer used cars were on the market — used car prices are slowly but surely increasing. This uptick comprises a number of different brands and models, but it is particularly ascendant with Japanese luxury cars such as INFINITI, Hyundai, Subaru and Acura. As iSeeCars put it, used vehicles have moved from a $2,406 pandemic-era deficit to the overall $630 gain of May 2025, with expectations that used car averages will jump from around $32,317 to approximately $35,000.
Want to know which brands are making the biggest price leaps? The aforementioned Japanese luxury brands certainly are, as well as a number of American old reliables. Keep reading to find out more.

CNBC Daily Open: The S&P 500 hits a high — but as Trump gives, so can he take
Something I rarely, if ever, say: What a wonderful Monday morning! On Friday stateside, the S&P 500 broke its previous record. Celebrations were shared with the Nasdaq Composite, which also hit a new high. The tech-heavy index enjoyed a liftoff from Nvidia and Microsoft, both of which reached all-time highs (and probably made some insiders at Nvidia multi-millionaires over the past month). Tariff relief buoyed sentiment in markets. China announced it had finalized details of its deal with the United States. And even though U.S. President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs are due to kick in (again) one week later, he suggested that his administration "can do whatever we want" regarding the 90-day pause. Postponing the return of those tariffs would give investors further cheer and put another feather, perhaps of the chicken variety, in their caps. That said, as Trump giveth, so does he taketh away. The S&P 500 was up as much as 0.76% at one point during Friday's trading session, but stumbled after the U.S. president slammed the door shut on trade talks with Canada over its digital services tax. Investors took the news in their stride. The index only dipped slightly, but that nonetheless shaved off some gains. U.S. markets open just before Asia heads to bed. May it be in Trump's nature to be a giver, to borrow Chappell Roan's words — so Monday can end as well as it began. New record for S&P 500. The broad-based index rose 0.52% to close at 6,173.07 Friday, surpassing its previous high of 6,147.43. U.S. futures ticked up Sunday evening stateside. The Stoxx Europe 600 popped 1.14% Friday as shares of Barclays and Deutsche Bank rallied to decade highs. China confirms trade deal details with America. The framework covers the export of rare earth metals from China, and the easing of tech restrictions imposed by the U.S., according to a statement released by Beijing on Friday. Trump said the same day he can do "whatever" he wants with tariffs. Talks with Canada 'terminated.' Trump on Friday abruptly announced that the U.S. is ending trade discussions over Ottawa's decision to impose a digital services tax on American tech firms, which will affect titans such as Amazon, Google and Meta. U.S. consumers paid more for goods and services in May. The core personal consumption expenditures price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting annual inflation at 2.7%. Both figures were 10 basis points higher than expected. [PRO] Eyes on U.S. jobs numbers. June's nonfarm payrolls report comes out Thursday and could determine if the rally in U.S. markets continues. Investors will only have half a day to react: U.S. markets close early Thursday and are dark Friday. China's biggest public AI drop since DeepSeek is about to hit the market On Monday, Chinese technology giant Baidu plans to make its Ernie generative AI large language model open source, a move by China's tech sector that could be its biggest in the AI race since the emergence of DeepSeek. "Baidu just threw a Molotov into the AI world," said Alec Strasmore, founder of AI advisory Epic Loot. "OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, all these guys who thought they were selling top-notch champagne are about to realize that Baidu will be giving away something just as powerful," Strasmore said, comparing Baidu's move to Costco creating Kirkland.

Trump reveals group of ‘wealthy people' wants to buy TikTok in US
President Donald Trump said a group of 'very wealthy people' wants to buy the Chinese-owned TikTok social media app that is facing a ban in the United States. During an interview Friday with Maria Bartiromo that appeared Sunday on Fox News, Trump said, 'We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,' declining to name the potential buyers. 'I'll tell you in about two weeks,' he added. The president said he believes Chinese President Xi Jinping 'will probably' approve the deal for U.S. ownership of the video service, which was founded in September 2016. President Joe Biden signed a law in 2024 requiring TikTok to be blocked in the United States unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells it to a non-Chinese company over concerns that sensitive user data could be acquired by the Chinese government. The U.S. Supreme Court voted unanimously on Jan. 17 that TikTok must be banned from U.S. app stores unless the company divested from the platform and sold to an American company by Jan. 19. Biden said he didn't want to intervene in the final days of his presidency, the app went dark around 10:30 p.m. ET on Jan. 18 and the app ceased to appear on Apple and Google's app stores. The 170 million U.S. users and around 1 million creators lost access to the app for at least one day of the 23 million new videos uploaded daily. Those using the app spend about an hour a day looking at some of the 23 million new clips uploaded daily, with teens using it for 2-3 hours a day, according to Exploding Topics. But the next day, the company restored service after Donald Trump said he would pause the deadline for 75 days when he was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, and signed an executive order to do so on his first day in office. He has since pushed off the deadline two more times, with it now delayed until Sept. 17. In April, the White House said it was close to a deal in which 50% of the app would be owned by an American company. Negotiations ended when Trump announced tariffs on goods coming from China to the United States. Trump proposed 134% tariffs on most goods but it has been scaled back to 30% for some items. During his first presidency, on Aug. 6, 2020, Trump signed an executive order 'action must be taken to address the threat posed by one mobile application in particular, TikTok' from China. Trump later credited TikTok with gaining more young voters in the 2024 election and seemed to soften on his stance. ByteDance has also been reluctant to turn over rights to the app's algorithm. It is the fifth-most social network with 1.6 billion users in the world behind Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp, according to Statista. In April, Adweek compiled a list of suitors for U.S. rights, including Applovin, Amazon, Oracle, Blackstone and Andreessen Horowitz. None confirmed negotiations to Addwek. 'It does not feel like these are serious bids for TikTok,' David Arslanian, managing director of Progress Partners, told Adweek. 'It is hard to imagine any of these companies, like Amazon and Oracle, successfully operating just a piece of TikTok.' Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

GOP tax bill draws flack on energy provisions from some onetime allies
The massive tax and immigration bill advancing through Congress could raise energy prices in much of the United States and make it harder for American companies to compete globally on AI and manufacturing as a result of deep cuts to federal support for wind and solar power, batteries and other renewable technologies, a wide range of experts warned on Sunday.
