-- 欧盟委员会周一提出一项措施，要求Alphabet（GOOG，GOOGL）旗下的谷歌公司向竞争对手开放其安卓生态系统，并根据《数字市场法》启动公众咨询。 委员会表示，其初步调查结果概述了谷歌应采取的步骤，以确保第三方人工智能服务能够访问安卓系统的关键功能，并与用户设备上的应用程序进行交互。 委员会在一份声明中表示，这些措施将允许竞争对手的人工智能工具执行诸如发送电子邮件、订购服务或分享照片等任务，而这些功能目前主要由谷歌自身的人工智能产品提供。 欧盟执行副主席特蕾莎·里贝拉在声明中表示：“今天提出的措施将为安卓用户提供更多选择，让他们可以自由选择在手机中使用和集成哪些人工智能服务。” 委员会邀请各方在5月13日前提交反馈意见。 谷歌尚未回复的置评请求。

US natural gas futures climbed in after-hours trading on Monday as a cooler weather outlook and easing supply conditions triggered some short covering.The front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract both rose 0.75% to $2.542 per million British thermal units.Prices briefly touched an intraday high of around $2.63/MMBtu in earlier trade."Nat-gas prices settled higher on Monday as short covering emerged amid colder US weather forecasts, potentially boosting nat-gas heating demand," Barchart said.Weather-driven demand shifts were a key driver. NatGasWeather.com said models have moved cooler versus last week, adding more heating demand days while reducing cooling demand. The forecaster said the change leaves the outlook less bearish and closer to neutral or slightly bullish.On the demand side, residential and commercial consumption increased sharply to 15.2 billion cubic feet per day from 12.5 Bcf/d as cooler temperatures boosted heating needs. Power burn remained steady at 32.5 Bcf/d and is projected to average 30.3 Bcf/d for the week, up from 29 Bcf/d last week, Gelber & Associates said.Total US natural gas production was flat last week, averaging around 106.5 Bcf/d, NRG Energy said. Trading Economics said output fell by around 4.1 Bcf/d over the past 18 days to an 11-week low of 108.1 Bcf/d, as major producers such as EQT scaled back output in response to low prices.Both NRG Energy and Gelber said Canadian imports fell to 4.7-4.8 Bcf/d from 5.5 Bcf/d.On the export side, Barchart, citing BNEF data, said LNG flows were 19.5 Bcf/d, down 2.1% from last week's robust levels. Trading Economics put the April average feedgas flow at 18.9 Bcf/d so far and noted it was near record highs."Today saw cooler forecast revisions, softer production, and steady LNG demand, which offers limited support for prices. That said, overall fundamental balances are not tight enough to fully change the story," Gelber said Monday.
