Amazon slid nearly 2% in morning trading as India suspended its 2019 deal with Future Group.India's antitrust body on Friday suspended Amazon.com's 2019 deal with Future Group following a review of allegations that the U.S. e-commerce giant had concealed information while seeking regulatory approval.
