U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper has removed himself from reviewing a disputed $10 billion cloud computing contract because of a possible conflict of interest, the Pentagon said on Tuesday. "Although not legally required to, he (Esper) has removed himself from participating in any decision making... due to his adult son's employment with one of the original contract applicants," Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Jonathan Rath Hoffman said in a statement. The JEDI contract is part of a broad modernization of the Pentagon's information technology systems and has been mired in controversy.

The deposition has not been previously reported.

(Bloomberg) -- An ugly two months for software stocks is getting worse, and bullish investors are looking to earnings reports this week from ServiceNow Inc. and Microsoft Corp. to stem the tide.Zoom Video Communications Inc. and ServiceNow fell more than 5% on Tuesday, each extending losing streaks to a fifth consecutive day. The group has been under renewed pressure since last week, despite an earnings report from Atlassian Corp. that was praised by analysts. Both ServiceNow and Microsoft are due to report Wednesday afternoon."We all know there's some frothiness in some of these specialty software as a service companies," said Jason Benowitz, a senior portfolio manager with Roosevelt Investment Group. "I'm interested in how the market will react when Microsoft reports, because I think everyone is expecting results to be strong."Software valuations have come under the microscope amid concerns about whether their break-neck growth is sustainable in a slowing economy and a renewed focus on profitability in the wake of WeWork's initial public offering stumble. A Goldman Sachs basket of expensive software stocks has fallen 28% from a July peak, with nearly all of that decline coming since the start of September.Other big decliners on Tuesday included Slack Technologies Inc. and Alteryx Inc., which both fell more than 7%, while Coupa Software Inc.has lost 24% since the beginning of last week.To contact the reporter on this story: Jeran Wittenstein in San Francisco at jwittenstei1@bloomberg.netTo contact th

Canada's Liberal government is more likely to pass a universal prescription drug plan after losing its majority in Monday's election, setting the stage for what would be the biggest shakeup of the country's public healthcare system since it was created in the 1960s. The Liberals won the most seats in the election but fell short of a majority, which means Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will need the support of rivals like the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) to govern. Both the Liberals and NDP have promised a new national drug plan.

Four days after leaked internal pilot messages set off a media firestorm for Boeing Co, former colleagues have defended a former pilot who voiced concerns about unreported 737 MAX software problems two years before fatal crashes. Chief Technical Pilot Mark Forkner described in the leaked messages how MCAS cockpit software, which has since been linked to crashes in Indonesia in 2018 and in Ethiopia in March this year, was "running rampant" during a flight simulator session. The messages fuelled speculation that either Boeing or Forkner or both knew about problems with the plane's flight control software well before the two crashes which killed a total of 346 people, sending its shares sharply lower.

Dutch cloud services firm Interxion plans to invest 140 million euros to turn the "Martha Base" bunker - which was built in 1943 to accommodate up to 20 U-boats but was never completed - into a data center for corporate clients. During the German occupation of France, the bunker was meant to be the main German U-boat base in the Mediterranean, but Allied forces bombed the city in May 1944 and took it back in August that year.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Canada's masses have spoken. Good luck to the energy industry interpreting what they said.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party have secured a second term in power, albeit having lost their majority. That latter point is critical for Canada's oil and gas producers and shippers, as is the wider redistribution of seats.If there's one defining aspect to take away from Canada's election, it's the deepening of divisions. Energy likes to flow, but Canada has become a case study in bottlenecks. Alongside the tortured saga of the Keystone XL pipeline to take Albertan oil south, other pipelines have been delayed or, in the case of Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd.'s Trans Mountain expansion to British Columbia, bought out by Ottawa to get it done. Five years ago, oil sands output was forecast to rise above four million barrels a day by the mid-2020s. That's been pushed back to the early 2030s(1), and even that looks optimistic. Discounts on Canadian oil, reflecting the higher costs of transporting it by rail rather than pipeline, now routinely exceed $10 a barrel.Canada happens to be a large oil producer that also has a strong movement to deal with climate change. An opinion poll released in early September found 69% of Canadians thought climate change should be a top priority for the next government — but that 58% thought oil and gas development should also be a top priority. Little wonder, then, that after a campaign defined largely by arguments over carbon taxes and pipelines, Canada has ended up without a clear winner.Ev

Volkswagen's main factory in Wolfsburg, Germany is preparing to make 450,000 Golf cars a year with the manufacturing time of the eighth-generation model sped up by one hour per vehicle, Andreas Tostmann told journalists in a call. Because VW is able to re-use 80% of the tooling for its new model, VW will invest a midsized triple-digit million euros amount in overhauling production, the carmaker said.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- United Parcel Service Inc. is offering everything to investors that FedEx Corp. isn't, and that's still seemingly not enough.The package-delivery company on Tuesday reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings and maintained its full-year profit outlook. That's a sharp contrast to FedEx's bruising guidance cut just over a month ago, which the company blamed on a weakening global economy, and analysts blamed on idiosyncratic foot faults. UPS is trimming its capital expenditure budget by $500 million this year and next year, which will help boost its 2019 free cash flow to more than $4 billion. FedEx, meanwhile, is on track to burn cash in fiscal 2020 and Moody's Investors Service Inc. recently lowered its outlook for the company's credit rating. Management's decision to nevertheless leave its $5.9 billion spending budget intact has left investors scratching their heads — particularly because the billions it has spent so far don't appear to be yielding results.UPS on Tuesday reported another quarterly improvement in its adjusted operating margin, a sign that its own push to invest in newer planes and automated systems is paying off as it manages a deluge of less profitable e-commerce shipments. And yet, the stock fell more than 4% in early trading. The problem is, as much as UPS is widening the execution gap between itself and FedEx, it can't escape the weakening macroeconomic backdrop.Revenue in the third quarter was marginally weaker than analysts had been expecting, and UPS warned that its profit guidance was

(Bloomberg) -- Biogen Inc. will ask U.S. drug regulators to approve the company's experimental Alzheimer's therapy, reviving the nearly abandoned treatment after a new analysis of data from two failed clinical trials showed promising results.The move by Biogen -- if successful -- would be the drug industry's most dramatic reversal of fortune in history. The company said it made the decision after talking with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and reviewing data showing the therapy helped Alzheimer's patients' cognitive function and their ability to perform basic tasks.In March, the company said a major trial of the drug, aducanumab, had been a failure. That announcement sent Biogen's shares down by more than 25% and raised questions about the firm's future.Investors erased most of those losses after the new announcement Tuesday, giving Biogen shares their biggest intraday gain on record. The stock jumped as much as 42% to $318 -- nearing where the stock traded before the March plunge.The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based drugmaker said in a statement that it plans to send its application to the FDA early next year. It is developing the treatment in partnership with Japan's Eisai Co.Biogen Chief Executive Officer Michel Vounatsos said the company met with the FDA Monday and got the agency's blessing to move ahead. "We got clear support from the FDA," he said in a telephone interview. The company does not believe it needs to conduct additional trials of the drug before moving ahead.The co

(Bloomberg) -- An auction next month of oilfields in Brazil may be the priciest ever held, raising at least $50 billion in licensing fees and compensation, according to people familiar with government estimates.Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell Plc and other energy giants are set to vie for deep-sea deposits that could hold 15 billion barrels of oil, almost twice as much as Norway's reserves. Winners at the Nov. 6 auction are expected to pay $25 billion in licensing fees, plus share a portion of their production with the government.In addition, bidders will need to negotiate payments to state-controlled Petroleo Brasileiro SA for investments it has already made in the area. Those payments could add another $25 billion to $45 billion in costs, according to officials familiar with government figures who asked not to be named because the information is private.The auction is unique in part because one of the four areas being offered is already gushing more than half of the daily output from Venezuela. It's a rare opportunity for an industry more accustomed to exploring riskier offshore prospects that can take a decade or more to develop.Fourteen producers -- including Petrobras -- have signed up to participate in the auction.Petrobras didn't respond to requests for comment. The Brazilian oil regulator, known as ANP, declined to comment on the total amount the auction could raise. It said payments to Petrobras will be negotiated between the company and its partners, without government interference.The offeri

In it, she sought Mnuchin's views on what triggered the spike in rates for repurchase agreements and expressed concern about potential costs to businesses and consumers if strains persist.She also set herself up for another fight with Wall Street, citing an article reporting that large banks were using the repo-market chaos to pressure the Federal Reserve to weaken liquidity rules they despise. Warren said she's concerned the Financial Stability Oversight Council, whose chair is Mnuchin, might support those efforts."These rules were designed to ensure that banks have enough cash on hand to meet their obligations in the event of another market crash," Warren said.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co said on Tuesday an interim analysis of a late-stage trial testing a combination of its immuno-oncology drugs Opdivo and Yervoy met the main goal of extending life of previously untreated lung cancer patients. The company said its therapies when administered alongside two courses of chemotherapy demonstrated superior overall survival compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, the most common form of the disease. Data presented at a medical meeting last month showed that about 40% of patients with advanced lung cancer on the Opdivo-Yervoy combination were alive after two years, outperforming chemotherapy as a first-line treatment.

The U.S. aluminium producer has just announced a five-year review of around 4.0 million tonnes of alumina capacity and 1.5 million tonnes of smelter capacity. It's not quite an annual event but Alcoa shareholders have been here many times before as the company keeps trying to move down the cost curve in the face of chronically depressed prices. On the London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month aluminium has ground steadily lower over the course of 2019 and at a current $1,720 per tonne is close to the near three-year low of $1,705 recorded earlier this month.

Brazilian beverage firm Ambev SA will launch its first canned water by year-end, following a global trend to step up recycling and phase out plastic containers as consumers shift towards greener alternatives, a company executive said. The move is part of a push by parent Anheuser Busch InBev to adopt more sustainable practices, and comes as other multinationals, such as Coca-Cola Co, PepsiCo and Nestle also launch canned water elsewhere. In Brazil, Ambev will start using its breweries in the southeastern state of Rio de Janeiro to produce its water brand AMA in aluminum cans to be distributed countrywide, its head of sustainability, Richard Lee, told Reuters in an interview.
