High-end perfumes and home scents are a standout in the luxury business as consumers stick with a habit that emerged in the pandemic https://t.co/oSVng5opp3 via @business @JENeumann

FX trading is infamously opaque. So when trader Neil Phillips was arrested for a type of trade that's rumored to still occur quite often, it shook Wall Street. The DOJ is accusing him of market manipulation. For many on Wall Street, it’s just combative (1/5)

4/ It’s an inopportune time for a pullback among suppliers. Bed Bath is heading into the crucial holiday season and is in the midst of a major strategic shift. It's discontinuing some of its private-label lines that haven’t been selling well.

1/ Some Bed Bath & Beyond suppliers say they are restricting or halting shipments even after the company secured new financing because they're worried about the retailer's future.

3/ But we spoke to suppliers who told us they are still worried about getting paid given Bed Bath's tough financial outlook. “We’d rather keep our product for customers that we expect will pay us with no issues and no problems,” dbest products CEO Richard Elden told us.

I include myself in being deluded about what the pandemic meant to shopping behaviors. An academic quoted in the piece simply explains:

"Old habits worked for us, and we fall back into them very easily."

9/ And apparel and home goods company Jenni Kayne plans to shift all of its furniture production to the US from Asia within the next two years. “We keep building in longer lead times but it’s still hard to receive the products when we want to receive them,” CEO Julia Hunter says

1/ Some US retail executives are rethinking the corporate playbook of the past several decades. After years of supply-chain chaos, they've decided to move some of their production from China to the US and Mexico despite higher costs. w/ @gutavsaraiva
