Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
The U.K. Court of Appeal has overturned a previous ruling that supported Apple Inc's appeal, reinstating the Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) investigation into mobile browsers and cloud gaming markets. This could impact Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet Inc (GOOG, GOOGL). The CMA's investigation, which Apple challenged, aims to protect consumers and promote competition. The investigation remains on hold pending a potential appeal to the Supreme Court. AAPL shares fell by 0.52% after the news.
