FOMC poised for rate decision
Take a special look at Google. With the tech giant beginning its next antitrust trial, we believe this series of legal challenges could potentially reshape its business. These lawsuits, led by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), have raised serious questions about the company’s dominance in digital advertising.

These legal challenges aren’t isolated. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, lost appeal in the European Union for favouring its shopping services over competitors.
