• Amazon announced that this year’s Prime Day event, which ended Wednesday, was its “biggest” ever.
• The company said more than 300 million items were purchased worldwide during the two-day discount bonanza, but it did not disclose total sales.
• Soaring inflation didn’t appear to deter consumers from the event, in which home goods, consumer electronics and Amazon-branded devices were the top-selling categories.
