From now until Monday, Mar. 9, the retailer is knocking down the price of select bed and bath items by 25%, and the discount is automatically applied to your cart. Did we mention that these are already Last Act deals with major price cuts? That means you get double discounts and brand new bedding for a fraction of the price of its original cost.The Seventh Studio Cable-Knit 3-Piece Quilt Set caught our attention, as quilts are perfect for spring weather. The queen-size three-piece set was $60, but thanks to the sale on sale, you can get it for just $13. That’s quite the steal for a “soft” and “lightweight” set you can use not just during the spring, but all year long.Seventh Studio Cable-Knit 3-Piece Quilt Set, $13 (was $60) at Macy’s

Why do shoppers love it?This spring-ready quilt is just what you need to manage the transition from winter. It comes with three pieces, including a quilt and two matching standard shams. The queen-size quilt measures 90 inches by 90 inches, and each sham measures 21 inches by 27 inches. It has a classic quilt look and feel with a cable-knit-inspired braided pattern that gives it a lovely texture on one side. On the other side, there’s a solid surface that makes the set even more versatile.Made from polyester with polyester fill, the quilt set is lightweight and perfect for spring weather, if not all seasons. It’s also great for hot sleepers, as it’s not as stifling and doesn’t trap heat like thick and heavy-duty comforters. Since the set is pre-washed, it’s designed to be extra soft.The set is available in three sizes: twin, full/queen, and king. For colors, you can get the set in either red or green. The red color is available in all three sizes; however, the green is only available in twin. With a sale price like this, we wouldn’t be surprised if the red sells out quickly, too.Related: Coach Outlet’s new Powder Pink collection starts at just $35Details to knowSizes: Twin, full/queen, and king.Colors: Red and green.Material: Polyester.Macy’s shoppers love the design and feel of this quilt set, saying the colors are vibrant and it has a great weight to it. “It’s light and versatile,” one reviewer said. “Great for layering on a bed or used alone as a light comforter.”Another customer said it holds up well in the wash. They added that they like the quilt’s stitching, saying it has a sparkle to it that looks sophisticated paired with the color on the bed.Shop more dealsSunham Veronica Botanical 3-Piece Comforter Set, $18 (was $80) at Macy’sVcny Home 3-Piece Quilt, $19 at AmazonWhale Flotilla 3-Piece Quilt Set, $18 (was $55) at WalmartThe Seventh Studio Cable-Knit 3-Piece Quilt Set is just $13, but only for a limited time; that is, unless it sells out first.

You can follow the latest updates on the market here in our daily live blog.Update: 12:54 a.m. ETA.M. Update: More trouble in AsiaGood morning. Escorts and the promise of insurance from the U.S. might be enough to convince oil tankers to try its hand at passing through the tense Strait of Hormuz, but none of it is necessarily a guarantee that energy products arrive intact. And tonight, that’s proving to be a problem for Asian markets, which count themselves reliant on that key crossing.South Korea’s KOSPI once again is saddling the steepest decline in Asia, with circuit breakers stopping trading earlier today. The index is now near day lows, down nearly 11.5%, making it the worst two-day stretch for the country’s market since 2008. The Korean won also hit a 17-year low amid worries that the country, which relies on imports from the Middle East to meet its energy needs, will be affected by the ongoing conflict in Iran. Other countries across Asia are facing a similar cascade, including Thailand, which saw its stock market halted after an 8% decline. More tepid declines in Taiwan’s TAIEX (-4.35%) and Japan’s Nikkei 225 (-3.68%) are also playing out, while India’s NIFTY 50 (-2%) is registering declines as the rupee hit a record low. And as a new day dawns in Europe, the Stoxx 600 looks like it might soon be sharing in those declines, based on futures data. In a short few hours, the U.S. markets might follow suit as this week’s declines continue to play out. At last glance, S&P 500futures were about half a percentage point lower; the Russell 2000 futures were closer to a one percent decline.That said, here is what will be on the docket for today:Earnings Today: Broadcom, Veeva, Brown-FormanThough the Iran situation is front and center, there are still dozens of reports rounding out the latest quarter.
