Amazon to invest £40bn in UK - with more warehouses and thousands of new jobs
Amazon has said it will invest £40bn in the UK over the next three years as it creates thousands of jobs and opens four new warehouses. The online shopping giant will build two huge fulfilment centres in the East Midlands, which it expects to open in 2027. The exact locations are still to be revealed. Two others - in Hull and Northampton - were previously announced and are set to be finished this year and in 2026 respectively, with 2,000 jobs expected at each site. Amazon is already one of the country's biggest private employers - with around 75,000 staff. Two new buildings will also go up at its corporate headquarters in east London, while other investment includes new delivery stations, upgrading its transport network and redeveloping Bray Film Studios in Berkshire - which it bought last year. The £40bn figure also includes most of the £8bn announced in 2024 for building and maintaining UK data centres, as well as staff wages and benefits. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the investment into Amazon's third-biggest market after the US and Germany was a "massive vote of confidence in the UK as the best place to do business". "It means thousands of new jobs - real opportunities for people in every corner of the country to build careers, learn new skills, and support their families," said Sir Keir. The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, said it was a "powerful endorsement of Britain's economic strengths". Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy stressed the investment would benefit communities across the UK. "When Amazon invests, it's not only in London and the South East," he said. "We're bringing innovation and job creation to communities throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, strengthening the UK's economy and delivering better experiences for customers wherever they live." However, Amazon's immense power and size continues to raise concerns among some regulators, unions and campaigners. There have long been claims over potentially dangerous conditions at its warehouses - denied by the company, while last week Britain's grocery regulator launched an investigation into whether it breached rules on supplier payments.

Rupee set to rally as crude dives on Israel-Iran de-escalation
MUMBAI, June 24 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee is poised to climb at open on Tuesday as the plunge in crude oil on fading Middle East geopolitical risks improves the outlook for the South Asian nation's trade balance and assets. The 1-month non-deliverable forward indicated an open in the 86.10 to 86.15 range, versus 86.75 in the previous session. Brent prices fell 2% in Asia after U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire. Brent had already slid 7% on Monday when Iran made a token retaliation against a U.S. base. "With Trump having lent a hand in brokering a peaceful resolution, the prospect of a prolonged conflict with U.S. involvement has been re-priced," clearing the way to add risk, Chris Weston, head of research at broker Pepperstone, said. U.S. equities rose Monday and futures indicated a further rally. The dollar index softened and Asian equities and currencies advanced. "It is expected that the big opening dip (on USD/INR) will run into buy orders. I do not think 86 will be taken out, though I reckon that positions are on the lighter side and interbank will be on the hunt to put in shorts," a currency trader at a Mumbai-based bank said. Brent crude is now trading below $70 a barrel — near levels seen before Israel's first strike on Iran. The rupee was at 85.60 prior to that escalation. There is "definitely" more room for the rupee to rally, a treasury official at a bank said. It's just that large drops on USD/INR tend to "struggle to hold on". Meanwhile, Federal Reserve vice-chair Michelle Bowman said the first interest rate cut this year could come as soon as July, further undermining the dollar and boosting risk. KEY INDICATORS: ** One-month non-deliverable rupee forward at 86.25-86.30; onshore one-month forward premium at 10.25 paise ** Dollar index down at 98.17 ** Brent crude futures down 2.1% at $69.88 per barrel ** Ten-year U.S. note yield at 4.35% ** As per NSDL data, foreign investors bought a net $1,093.6 mln worth of Indian shares on June 22 ** NSDL data shows foreign investors sold a net $18.8 mln worth of Indian bonds on June 22
