According to our review, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are an “easy buy” if you’ve been looking for a new pair of AirPods. It’s easy to see why: They have excellent ANC, eight hours of listening time per charge, a built-in heart rate monitor, and live translation features. While they hit a lower price of $184 back in February, this markdown is still worth checking out.

The JBuds Lux ANC are the best budget headphones we’ve tested in recent memory, offering decent noise cancellation, a long battery life, and balanced sound. (Just note that their fit can be hit or miss.) They’re a great value at their regular price of $80, but $41.99 is even better during the Big Spring Sale. We saw them dip to $27 at Walmart on Black Friday, but this is their lowest-ever price on Amazon.
And if you’re looking to spend a bit more for a more comfortable fit and top-notch ANC, flagship headphones from Apple, Bose, and Sony are all on sale.

GTA V star Ned Luke recently told Mashable he uses this gaming laptop when he travels, calling it “an animal.” The model with 32GB of RAM and a terabyte of disk space is $330 off on Amazon, and it comes with a free copy of Crimson Desert. It’s never been cheaper before. (Best Buy is price-matching it, but doesn’t throw in the free game code.)

The Laifen hair dryer that Mashable’s hair tool expert, Bethany Allard, named as the best Dyson Supersonic dupe is on sale for the spring sale. But maybe you won’t be as hard-pressed to find a good dupe when the fanciest Supersonic is at a new record-low price.
The Supersonic Nural’s main flex over the regular Supersonic is a system of sensors that automatically lower heat near your head, preventing a sizzling scalp. The Nural can also remember your preferred settings just based on the attachment being used, and knows to pause airflow when you set it down.
Warmer weather means open windows at home. And for the lucky folks, open windows at home mean allergy-induced sniffles. Make this the year that you finally get an air purifier for your home. This Blueair model can clean up to 1,858 square feet in an hour (a much larger reach than other purifiers under $200 in this list). The powerful HEPA filter can remove airborne particles that irritate our respiratory systems, like pollen, dust, mold spores, pet dander, and smoke, so you’ll benefit from the benefits of filtered air indoors year-round.

Published on
It is an old market saying, but it has never felt more apt: when people are worried about the future, they buy gold — when they are worried about the present, they sell it.
ADVERTISEMENT
While the Iran war has raised longer-term concerns over energy security and global stability, the immediate fallout, in the form of surging oil prices and renewed inflation fears, has forced investors to prioritise liquidity and higher-yielding assets over metals.
Gold hit an all-time high of $5,602 (€4,873) at the end of January and looked to be heading higher still in early March, but has since dropped nearly 25% to a low of $4,100 (€3,567), trading around $4,500 (€3,915) at the time of writing.
The decline marks a dramatic pullback from gold’s extraordinary performance last year.
In 2025, the metal delivered one of its best annual gains in decades, rising more than 60% to record levels as central banks accumulated reserves and investors sought protection amid economic uncertainty.
The drop in 2026 has triggered a swift unwinding of leveraged positions in futures and exchange-traded funds which were riding last year’s tremendous rise.
This sharp reversal defies the traditional role of the metal as a refuge during geopolitical turmoil, with a stronger US dollar and rising bond yields proving far more influential.
Rising US Treasury yields and a firmer US dollar have been the dominant headwinds for precious metals.
Higher oil prices stemming from the Iran war have lifted inflation expectations, prompting markets to price in fewer Federal Reserve rate cuts or even the possibility of tighter policy for longer, including potential hikes that were previously unexpected.
This has increased the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, while the US dollar’s strength has made it more expensive for international buyers.
The result has been a classic “flight to liquidity” rather than the expected flight to quality risk assets, as leveraged traders facing margin calls accelerated the sell-off.
The correction for metals has been one of the sharpest in recent memory.
Silver, which often amplifies gold’s moves, followed with an even bigger drop.
The white metal reached an all time high of $121 just one day after gold, on 29 January, but it has since dropped roughly 50% to as low as $61.
At the time of writing, it is trading at around $70.
Silver enjoyed an even more spectacular rally than gold in 2025, surging roughly 145% thanks to robust industrial demand from solar panels, electronics and electric vehicles, combined with investment buying.
In 2026, however, it has also declined sharply amid the same pressures of US dollar strength and higher yields, although its industrial fundamentals continue to offer longer-term support.
Kering CRAFT cohort, from left to right: YU Gengyi, XIA Rong, LONGHONG Ziwei, ZHONG Zixin, HU Nan, CAI Jiaen, QI Yueqi, WANG Fengchen, XU Hao, WEI Donghui
Kering today announced the cohort of 10 fellows for the inaugural edition of Kering CRAFT – Creative Residency for Artisanship, Fashion and Technology – the Group’s pioneering program developed in partnership with Shanghai Fashion Week. Strengthening Kering’s support for emerging talent and fostering closer ties between Chinese and international creative communities, Kering CRAFT aims to accelerate the next generation of Chinese designers through a program spanning Milan, Paris, and Shanghai.
Since the official opening of applications in December 2025, over 100 excellent candidates submitted their applications. In March 2026, a rigorous evaluation and selection process was jointly conducted by Kering, Shanghai Fashion Week and the Kering CRAFT Advisory Board, composed of leading international experts across the luxury, fashion and creative industries. The criteria included creativity and originality, craftsmanship and product excellence, growth prospects, and the embodiment of future luxury trends.
CAI Jinqing, President of Kering Greater China, said: “We are grateful to the Kering CRAFT Advisory Board and Shanghai Fashion Week for their invaluable support in selecting this inaugural cohort of ten exceptional fellows. Their creative passion, distinct perspectives, outstanding abilities and exceptional potential embody China’s new generation of creators. We look forward to meaningful learning and cultural exchange during their residency, and to further strengthening the richness and diversity of the CRAFT creative community together.”
With a focus on fashion and jewelry design, the 10 chosen residents demonstrate distinct creative styles, keen cultural insights, bold innovative spirit, and strong business potential. Their design concepts also blend local originality with a global perspective. Many draw on Chinese culture and philosophy and reinterpret them into a global context, showcasing the inner cultural connections and heritage in contemporary fashion narratives.
As a member of the Kering CRAFT Advisory Board, Demna, Artistic Director of Gucci, stated: “The creativity, innovation, and technical know-how in China are something I have always been fascinated by. I am excited to support the next generation of Chinese creatives and see how they will help shape the future of fashion.”
By offering an immersive pathway grounded in excellence and guided by world‑renowned experts, the program will combine hands‑on learning, expert mentorship, and cultural exchange to advance craftsmanship, innovation, business development, and a sustainable fashion ecosystem. Ultimately, Kering CRAFT’s ambition is to support the emergence of Chinese brands rooted in local culture and yet resonating worldwide.
The final cohort is composed of, in alphabetical order:
Bios of the cohort fellows can be found in the annex of the press release.
The cohort will embark on the international learning journey of Kering CRAFT in May, visiting Italy as the first stop in Europe. Leveraging the learnings acquired, after the completion of all modules of the residency, the Kering CRAFT fellows will present a final creative project during Shanghai Fashion Week 2027.

Budget airlines in Asia risk losing their price advantage as fuel prices rise and Middle East tensions disrupt key routes, forcing carriers to raise fares and cut expenses.
Low-cost carriers rely on high passenger volumes and low fares, leaving them with thinner margins and less room to absorb fuel price swings and route disruptions than full-service airlines.
Airline executives, speaking at the Aviation Festival Asia conference in Singapore, said they are now trying to cut costs, adjust fares and shift routes to avoid passing too much of the increase on to passengers.
“[We have to] adjust the fares, and at the same time, stimulate the demand,” Vissoth Nam, CEO at AirAsia Cambodia, told CNBC’s Monica Pitrelli during a panel on Thursday. “Otherwise, we don’t have travelers.”
India’s SpiceJet said the Middle East conflict has significantly affected its operations due to heavy traffic between India and the region.
“Dubai alone has 77 flights a week from India, and that’s absolutely a huge impact for us from a route and loss of revenue perspective,” said Kamal Hingorani, the chief customer officer at SpiceJet.
While higher fuel costs have not yet fully hit the airline, Hingorani said prices are set monthly and could rise further in April.
The Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency of India on March 26 changed its outlook on India’s aviation sector to negative from stable, citing the weaker Indian Rupee against the U.S. dollar and higher fuel prices. Fuel prices were 5.4% higher in March from a year earlier and are expected to rise further in April.
Hingorani said if fuel prices rise to an unmanageable level, the airline “may have to absorb some [costs]” because passing on high fuel surcharges would hurt demand.
Not all airlines have been affected equally, however.
Zipair Tokyo says it has performed relatively well compared with other budget airlines, partly because its routes avoid the Middle East and have not been disrupted by the conflict.
The airline, which operates a fleet of eight planes on mid- to long-haul international flights, has also seen strong demand during Japan’s cherry blossom season, particularly in April.
“With this crisis, there are some routes that have become strong while others have weakened,” said Brendan Sobie, an aviation analyst at Sobie Aviation. Long-haul routes have generally remained resilient.
However, fuel prices still directly affect costs, Yasuhiro Fukada, incoming chief executive and co-founder of Zipair, said, especially because the airline carrier does not impose fuel surcharges.
While Japan has domestic oil reserves and is procuring crude from the United States, Zipair told CNBC in an email that supply conditions could still become more challenging depending on how the conflict develops.
Its parent company, Japan Airlines, implemented a fuel surcharge policy on international flights on Feb. 27 due to the “unprecedented rises” in fuel prices.
Zipair intends to double its fleet to over 20 aircraft by 2032, Fukada said.
Low-cost carriers are also turning to technology to reduce costs.
Zipair said on 26 Feb that its flights would be equipped with Starlink satellite internet at no charge to passengers.
The service allows airlines to stream entertainment to passengers’ devices instead of installing heavier in-flight entertainment systems, reducing maintenance and fuel costs.
SpiceJet said its subsidiary SpiceTech develops in-house software for customers and operational systems, allowing the airline to cut nearly 80% of its technology vendors and reduce expenses.
This, Hingorani said, was “fundamental for our survival … because [SpiceTech is] a subsidiary and not our own company directly, it also is doing a lot of work for global airlines on those things.”

Eli Lilly signed a drug discovery deal with InSilico that the Hong Kong-listed company says could be valued at as much as $2.75 billion, as global pharmaceutical giants continue to tap China's drug development pipeline.
Under the agreement announced Sunday, InSilico will receive an upfront payment of $115 million and is eligible for additional milestone payments that could put the total deal value at about $2.75 billion, along with tiered royalties on future sales, it said in an exchange filing.
Eli Lilly will obtain exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and sell best-in-class oral treatments across multiple therapeutic areas discovered using InSilico's artificial intelligence model, Pharma.AI.
The companies will also work on multiple research-and-development programs focused on targets selected by Lilly.
Shares of InSilico, which specializes in developing drug discovery technology powered by AI and automation, surged 15% in early trade on Monday before paring gains. The stock was last up 4.4%.
InSilico, which conducts its drug R&D in China and is backed by Hong Kong government's investment arm, is headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., and has operations across North America, Greater China and the Middle East.
The deal marks Lilly's latest effort to tap China's vast pharmaceutical research base. The agreement extends Lilly and InSilico's partnership, which began in 2023, and builds on their AI drug discovery deal announced late last year, valued at up to $100 million.
The U.S. drugmaker has pledged to invest $3 billion to expand its supply-chain capacity in the country. It has also struck several high-profile deals with Chinese drugmakers, including a partnership with Innovent Biologics to develop new treatments targeting cancer and immune system diseases that could be worth up to $8.5 billion.
China has become a major hub for drug innovation in recent years, prompting global drugmakers to sign a flurry of licensing deals with Chinese companies.
AstraZeneca has disclosed plans to invest $15 billion in China, alongside a licensing deal worth up to $4.7 billion with CSPC Pharmaceuticals inked earlier this year. Meanwhile, Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical struck a deal valued at up to $11.4 billion with Innovent late last year.
Growth in Chinese companies' development of first-in-class drug candidates has significantly outpaced that of their counterparts in the U.S., Europe and Japan, said Cui Cui, Jefferies's head of Asia healthcare research.
"We believe Chinese biotechs are reshaping the U.S. biopharma landscape," she said, adding that assets from China are easing pricing pressures for multinational drugmakers in a timely and cost-effective way.
"Insilico's AI-enabled discovery capabilities represent a powerful complement to Lilly's deep expertise in clinical development across multiple therapeutic areas," said Andrew Adams, Eli Lilly vice president of molecule discovery.
InSilico raised 2.28 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$291.1 million, in its initial public offering in the Asian financial hub last year. The IPO was backed by Eli Lilly's Asian venture arm, in addition to investors including Tencent and Temasek Holdings.

Rosen Law Firm has filed a class action lawsuit against Lufax Holding Ltd., alleging inadequate internal controls and materially misstated financial results for investors who purchased securities between April 7, 2023 and January 26, 2025, and Mr. Dongqi Chen has since resigned as General Manager effective March 31, 2026.
The combination of a securities class action focused on disclosure quality and the departure of a senior executive raises important questions about Lufax’s governance and reporting practices.
With investors recently experiencing a 11.22% seven-day and 3.70% one-day share price decline, we’ll assess how alleged misstatements reshape Lufax’s investment narrative.
AI is about to change healthcare. These 34 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part – they are all under $10b in market cap – there’s still time to get in early.
For anyone considering Lufax, the big picture still revolves around whether you believe the company can turn an unprofitable, low price to sales business into a cleaner, better governed platform for serving small business borrowers. Short term, the key catalysts had been progress on returning to profitability, tighter risk management after the auditor switch, and execution under the incoming CEO. The new class action and the resignation of the General Manager now cut directly across those themes, because they question the quality of past numbers and internal controls at a time when board and management tenure is already short. The sharp recent share price fall suggests the market is treating this as more than background noise, and it may increase both regulatory and execution risk around any recovery story.
