-- 根據路透社報道，日本最大的電力生產商Jera表示，儘管中東衝突導致霍爾木茲海峽實際上已經關閉，造成供應中斷，但其液化天然氣庫存充足，足以滿足國內需求至7月。報道引述該公司高層的話稱， Jera財務策略與規劃負責人大瀧正人週一告訴路透社：“目前，我們的庫存足以維持到7月份。” 他表示，公司將利用全球市場交易能力，確保靈活採購燃料以滿足國內需求。 他還表示，公司將根據霍爾木茲海峽封鎖持續時間的長短調整採購策略。 就在幾個月前，Jera剛與卡達能源公司簽署了一項為期近30年的協議，從2028年開始，每年從卡達能源公司北氣田南擴建工程供應300萬噸液化天然氣。然而，目前尚不清楚此次衝突將對該協議產生何種影響。 傑拉尚未回覆就此事的置評請求。 （市場閒談新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。）

Update: EU Proposes Measures to Open Google's Android to Rival AI Services
(Updates with Google's comment in 5th, 6th and 7th paragraph.)The European Commission on Monday proposed measures that would require Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google to open its Android ecosystem to rival AI services and launched a public consultation under the Digital Markets Act.The commission said its preliminary findings outline steps Google should take to ensure third-party AI services can access key Android capabilities and interact with applications on users' devices.The measures would allow competing AI tools to perform tasks such as sending emails, ordering services or sharing photos, which are functions currently largely reserved for Google's own AI offerings, the commission said in a statement."Today's proposed measures will give more choice to Android users about the AI services they use and integrate in their phone," Teresa Ribera, an EU executive vice president, said in the statement.Clare Kelly, Senior Competition Counsel at Google, said Android's ecosystem allows AI assistants to grow, as device makers can freely integrate and tailor AI experiences for their users."This unwarranted intervention would strip away that autonomy, mandate access to sensitive hardware and device permissions; unnecessarily driving up costs while undermining critical privacy and security protections for European users." Kelly added in an emailed statement to.Kelly also said the EC's proposals and the current memory crisis will drive up device prices by 50 euros to 100 euros this year.The commission invited interested parties to submit feedback by May 13.Price: $349.84, Change: $+7.52, Percent Change: +2.20%
