NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil fell from five-month highs on Tuesday after the International Monetary Fund cut its global economic growth forecasts and as Russia signaled it may retreat from its production-cutting deal with OPEC. A threat by Washington to slap tariffs on hundreds of European goods halted a rally in global equities, which also dragged on oil futures. Brent settled 49 cents lower at $70.61 a barrel, after hitting $71.34, its highest since November.

MADRID/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chico’s FAS Inc warned in January that it would shutter at least 250 stores across its namesake brand, along with its White House Black Market and Soma labels. But the U.S. women’s clothing chain is expanding a different storefront - its Chico’s-branded micro site on Amazon.com Inc. The world’s largest online retailer now sells around 2,300 Chico’s styles, from crease-proof trousers to fine-knit sweaters, representing nearly six times more product offerings than when it started last May, Chico’s told Reuters.
While that growth should entice any retailer, Chico’s is one of a growing number of clothing brands treading carefully, From Nike Inc and Under Armour Inc to Lands’ End Inc and Levi Strauss & Co, major brands are distributing clothing and accessories directly through Amazon.com, attracted by more than 100 million members of Amazon’s loyalty club Prime and its advanced delivery network, The risk in this relationship, 3d fortune cookie cufflinks according to interviews with retailers and industry analysts, comes if Amazon uses real-time data from customer purchases to help it quickly build out its own private label clothing brands, and ends up stealing market share from its current retail partners..

She had input into Nike’s decision process to partner with Amazon, but left the shoe company shortly before the deal was finalized in July 2017. Recognizing the concern from retailers, the European Commission has launched a preliminary antitrust investigation into Amazon and whether it might “gain access to competitively sensitive information about competitors’ products which it could use to boost its own retail activities at the expense of third party sellers on its marketplace,” an EU spokesman said.
The company told Reuters it does not use an individual seller’s data to give its private label products an advantage, It declined to comment on the early-stage probe, or say how many private label clothing brands it had and how fast it was churning out new ones, A spokeswoman noted that Amazon’s private label products account for about 1 percent of its total retail sales, “Our private brands supplement the great assortment that our selling partners provide,” she 3d fortune cookie cufflinks said, A Nike spokeswoman said its business with Amazon continued to perform well, but said the company’s approach was broader than Amazon alone and that it continued to engage with a number of digital marketplaces..
