Trade conflicts between the U.S. and China are reaching into the bedroom. American retailers and manufacturers say Chinese companies are flooding the country with cheap mattresses, forcing some domestic companies to abandon the entry-level mattress market and to cut jobs. The WSJ Logistics Report’s Paul Berger writes that U.S. trade officials are due to issue a decision this week on efforts by Chinese companies to evade tariffs by setting up production in other countries even as customs investigates transshipment efforts. Mattresses are among a range of products that the U.S. is concerned about beyond the high-profile disputes over imports of semiconductors, electric vehicles and other high-value goods. Industry executives say the low-price bedding is cutting into a troubled market that’s been reconfigured in recent years by the growing sale of cheap mattresses through online channels. The sector is also sagging under the ongoing slump in the U.S. housing market.

Amazon will be selling a lot of goods this week, but the focus on future profits is elsewhere. This year’s Prime Day sale event that starts Tuesday is expected to net Amazon about $13.3 billion in global sales, up 6% from last year. The WSJ’s Dan Gallagher writes in a Heard on the Street column that the e-commerce giant has stabilized retail profits, but its advertising and cloud businesses are much stronger contributors to the bottom line. Corporate cloud-computing demand and the burgeoning AI market are expected to drive Amazon Web Services revenue up nearly 18% this year compared with 13% growth last year. Amazon’s operating income has also surged by triple-digit percentages over the past four quarters and is expected to hit more than $62 billion this year. The results highlight economic shifts in which the strongest profits aren’t necessarily found in boxes of goods.
