Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

An EU court adviser backed the European Commission’s €1.7 billion ($1.7 billion) AdSense antitrust fine against Google, dealing the company a setback in its appeal. The opinion, though non-binding, could prolong Google’s legal fight and reinforce the EU’s scrutiny of its advertising practices. The case centers on claims that Google restricted rivals in the online ad market, adding to its broader regulatory challenges in Europe. A final court ruling is still pending, and the outcome will be watched for its impact on how EU competition penalties against major tech platforms are upheld.
