EcoFlow decks the halls with up to 55% savings on power stations, bundles, more from $45 in early Christmas sale

EcoFlow has launched its early Christmas sale that will run through December 16 and is taking up to 55% off its power banks, power stations, solar generator bundles, home backup bundles, and accessories – with some free gifts and bonus savings thrown in too. One notable standout undercutting its Black Friday pricing is the DELTA 3 Plus Portable Power Station which is down at $649 shipped. Normally running you $799 at full price, we’ve seen a few varying discounts since this newer model was released back in September, with October’s Prime Day event taking the price down to the $649 low while the recent Black Friday sale only saw it go to $699. That low price is returning here today, saving you $150 and giving you a second chance at the lowest rate we have tracked. There are even a few bundle options here, with the power station coming with a 220W solar panel for $949, down from $1,448, or two 220W panels and a protective bag at $1,199, down from $2,166, or you can grab it with a 800W alternator charger for $999, down from $1,398.

As is always the case with EcoFlow’s major sales events, there are some bonus savings that make larger-sized purchases much more enticing, as you’ll receive a free RIVER 600 power station with orders over $2,000 or a free RIVER Pro power station with orders over $5,000. There are also some members-only benefits too, with a redemption of EcoCredits scoring 5% in additional savings, as well as getting 2x the EcoCredits with purchases on all sitewide products.

One of the newest models under EcoFlow’s flag, the DELTA 3 Plus power station delivers a modular backup power design on a smaller scale with a base 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity that you can invest further into and expand up to 5kWh by using expansion batteries from the DELTA 3, DELTA Pro 3, DELTA 2 Max, or DELTA 2 stations. You’ll be equipped with the means to power most appliances here, as it dishes out constant power up to 1,800W (surging to 3,600W) through its 13 ports thanks to its X-Boost tech, which allows for appliances requiring 2,600W being better supported than with older stations.

The benefits from its X-Boost tech doesn’t stop there either, as it gives the unit five fast-charging ways to refuel its battery. Plugged into a standard wall outlet will return the battery to full in only 56 minutes, which matches the time the brand’s Smart Generator 4000 would take to do the same. Using the alternator charger you can expect a full battery in 1.3 hours of driving, or do things in 70 minutes when utilizing its max 1,000W solar input. It even comes with multi-charge options, taking an hour to refill the battery when pairing its solar charging capabilities with a wall outlet.

Amazon is offering homeowners an affordable means to clear snow from your walkways this winter with Worx’s 40V 20-inch Cordless PowerShare Snow Blower for $299.99 shipped. Carrying a $400 price tag recently since falling from its $440 MSRP over the summer, we last saw this same price pop up just after New Year’s Day for a short period before spending the rest of 2024 keeping above $319.

Energy giants Baker Hughes, Woodside shy away from making oil forecasts as Iran-Israel conflict escalates

The CEOs of two major energy companies are monitoring the developments between Iran and Israel — but they aren’t about to make firm predictions on oil prices.

Both countries traded strikes over the weekend, after Israel targeted nuclear and military facilities in Iran on Friday, killing some of its top nuclear scientists and military commanders.

Speaking at the Energy Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, Lorenzo Simonelli, president and CEO of energy technology company Baker Hughes, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” that “my experience has been, never try and predict what the price of oil is going to be, because there’s one sure thing: You’re going to be wrong.”

Simonelli said the last 96 hours “have been very fluid,” and expressed hope that there would be a de-escalation in tensions in the region.

“As we go forward, we’ll obviously monitor the situation like everybody else is. It is moving very quickly, and we’re going to anticipate the aspect of what’s next,” he added, saying that the company will take a wait-and-see approach for its projects.

At the same conference, Meg O’Neill, CEO of Australian oil and gas giant Woodside Energy, likewise told CNBC that the company is monitoring the impact of the conflict on markets around the world.

She highlighted that forward prices were already experiencing “very significant” effects in light of the events of the past four days.

If supplies through the Strait of Hormuz are affected, “that would have even more significant effects on prices, as customers around the world would be scrambling to meet their own energy needs,” she added.

As of Sunday, the Strait remained open, according to an advisory from the Joint Maritime Information Center. It said, “There remains a media narrative on a potential blockade of the [Strait of Hormuz]. JMIC has no confirmed information pointing towards a blockade or closure, but will follow the situation closely.”

Iran was reportedly considering closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to the attacks.

'Closely' watching Israel-Iran to be able to help meet energy needs: Woodside CEO

O’Neill said that oil and gas prices are closely linked to geopolitics, citing as examples events that date back to World War II and the oil crisis in the 1970s.

Nevertheless, she would not make a firm prediction on the price of oil, saying, “there’s many things we can forecast. The price of oil in five years is not something I would try to put a bet on.”

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital waterway between Iran and the United Arab Emirates. About 20% of the world’s oil passes through it.

It is the only sea route from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration has described it as the “world’s most important oil transit chokepoint.”

CNBC Daily Open: Israel's conflict with Iran sends tremors through markets

Israel’s airstrikes on Iran Friday sent reverberations through financial markets.

Oil prices jumped on fears that supply from Iran, the world’s ninth-largest oil producer in 2023, would be disrupted.

Prices of gold, the stalwart shelter in times of crises, rose. Investors flock to the precious metal amid uncertainty because it serves as a stable store of value that is mostly resistant against exogenous shocks, such as inflation or geopolitical conflicts.

And the dollar strengthened, as it is wont to do when the world looks ugly. Recall the dollar smile: The greenback will appreciate when things are really good because investors want in on U.S. risk assets, or when they are really bad because investors want in on the perceived safety of U.S. government bonds.

The fact that the dollar increased in value against other currencies traditionally perceived as safe havens, such as the Swiss franc and Japanese yen, emphasizes the primacy of king dollar, despite rumblings of de-dollarization and concerns over U.S. government debt.

Stocks, the financial risk asset epitomized, fell across markets globally.

Despite the markets giving multiple indications we are entering a period of ugliness — or, at least, volatility — U.S. stocks still appear resilient, and the surge in oil prices only brings us back to where they were about three months ago as prices have been low since, CNBC’s Michael Santoli wrote.

The markets have, indeed, mostly shrugged off Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, both of which are still brewing. But with the conflict between Israel and Iran still in its early days, it might pay to be extra cautious in the coming weeks.

What you need to know today

Israel strikes Iran
On Sunday, Israel launched a series of airstrikes across Iran. That marks the
third day of violence between the two nations. Armed conflict broke out when Israel struck Iran’s nuclear facilities early Friday local time. In retaliation, Iran launched more than 100 drones toward Israeli territory. Those events are likely just the beginning in a rapid cycle of escalation, according to regional analysts.

Stocks retreat globally
U.S. futures rose Sunday night local time. On Friday, fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East sent stocks lower. The S&P 500 lost 1.13%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.79% and the Nasdaq Composite retreated 1.3%. Europe’s Stoxx 600 index dropped 0.89%. Travel and airline stocks on both sides of the Atlantic fell as the outlook for international travel grew cloudy and airlines suspended their Tel Aviv flights.

Safe haven assets in demand
Investors piled into safe-haven assets after Israel’s attack on Iran. After weeks of declining, the dollar index, a measurement of the strength of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies, rallied 0.3% on Friday and was up 0.1% as of 7:30 a.m. Singapore time Monday. Spot gold rose 0.38% and gold futures for August delivery were up 0.41% Monday, adding to Friday’s gains of 1.4% and 1.5% respectively.

Prices of oil jump
Oil prices surged as investors feared a disruption to oil supply from Iran, which produced 3.305 million barrels per day in April, according to OPEC’s Monthly Oil Market Report of May. As of Monday morning Singapore time, U.S. crude oil rose 2.22% to $74.62 a barrel, adding to its 7.26% jump on Friday. The global benchmark Brent climbed 2.22% to $75.88 a barrel, following Friday’s 7.02% surge.

[PRO] U.S. stocks still look resilient
Even though stocks fell on the eruption of conflict between Israel and Iran, the market appeared resilient, wrote CNBC’s Michael Santoli. This week, while hostilities between the two Middle East countries will continue weighing on investors’ minds, they should not lose sight of the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting meeting, which concludes Wednesday.
