[ Federal Reserve Daly: Open to cutting interest rates at the September meeting, does not think the weakness in the labor market will worsen]

Daly, a 2024 FOMC voting member and president of the San Francisco Fed, said in a speech that the Fed's mission and the risks it faces are becoming balanced, and that it is open to cutting interest rates at the upcoming (September) meeting.

"The underlying data in the July jobs report provides some reason for confidence that we are slowing but not collapsing," Daly said. "I don't think the weakness in the labor market will intensify now and will be watching closely to see if the next job market report reflects the same dynamics or a reversal.

A U.S. federal judge ruled on Monday that Google's (GOOG.O) efforts to maintain a monopoly in online search were illegal, a decision that strikes a blow to the power of big tech companies and could fundamentally change the way they do business.

"Google is a monopoly and has maintained its monopoly as a monopoly," wrote U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta in the ruling.

It is reported that in 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice and states led by Colorado and Nebraska sued Google, accusing it of illegally consolidating its dominance, in part by paying billions of dollars each year to other companies such as Apple and Samsung to have Google automatically process search queries on their smartphones and web browsers.
