道明銀行預覽本週加拿大關鍵數據及央行政策會議

By

-- 道明銀行表示,本週市場的焦點是加拿大央行的利率決議。 加拿大央行將於週三發布政策聲明和新的貨幣政策報告(MPR)。 道明銀行指出,市場普遍預期加拿大央行將維持利率不變。鑑於伊朗戰爭帶來的經濟影響仍存在高度不確定性,現在改變利率政策還為時過早,尤其是在核心通膨依然表現良好的情況下。 儘管如此,上週的加拿大央行商業展望調查(BOS)顯示,短期通膨預期略有上升,但長期通膨指標仍保持穩定。道明銀行預計,加拿大央行將強調在必要時採取行動以維持通膨預期穩定。 道明銀行也指出,本週二聯邦政府也將發佈春季經濟展望報告。 去年11月的預算案將2026/27財年的財政赤字設定為國內生產毛額(GDP)的「高點」2.0%。該銀行補充說,與省政府本預算季的預期相比,這一缺口也將處於較高水平。 然而,今年名目GDP(政府收入的主要來源)的預期可能會比去年11月上調。道明銀行表示,此次更新可能不會包含實質的新措施,因為先前已經宣布了一些措施,例如食品雜貨補貼增加。

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%
