| Swiss bank UBS says 'business as usual' in China Posted: 23 Oct 2018 05:40 AM PDT  Swiss banking giant UBS said Tuesday it was "business as usual" in China following reports that the company restricted travel there as an employee had to delay her return home after being asked to meet with authorities. The wealth manager, who focuses on China, delayed her return from Beijing to Singapore last week after she was asked to meet with local officials on an unknown matter, Bloomberg News reported, citing a personal familiar with the issue.

| U.S. GDP Report Seen Giving Trump a Trophy Before Midterm Vote Posted: 23 Oct 2018 01:05 AM PDT  The report due Friday, the last data before the Nov. 6 vote, will show gross domestic product expanded at a 3.4 percent annualized pace in the July-September period after a 4.2 percent gain in the prior quarter, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Consumer spending and business investment probably drove growth, and inventory accumulation also contributed.

| Amazon Lobbying Reaches Company Record Amid Pentagon Competition Posted: 22 Oct 2018 10:16 PM PDT ![Amazon Lobbying Reaches Company Record Amid Pentagon Competition]( "Amazon Lobbying Reaches Company Record Amid Pentagon Competition") Lobbying expenditures by other technology giants also increased as executives from Alphabet Inc.'s Google, Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. came to Washington to address allegations of political bias on their platforms from President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans and braced for the threat of more antitrust scrutiny. Amazon, which has boosted its federal lobbying far faster than rivals in recent years, spent $3.63 million on its efforts during the period, up from its previous quarterly record -- set in the second quarter of this year -- of $3.47 million, according to disclosures filed with Congress. In addition to the Defense Department cloud contract, for which the company is thought to be the front-runner, Amazon also faced the tax implications of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that opened the door for state and local governments to pursue sales taxes on more online transactions.
