Saks Global, the bankrupt luxury retailer, has announced the termination of its "Saks on Amazon" e-commerce partnership with Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN).

Analysts suggest the impact on Amazon (AMZN) will likely be minor, given Saks's bankrupt status and the probable limited financial contribution of the partnership.
