EU Probes Microsoft Cloud as DMA Gatekeeper; Shares Gain 0.72% to $427.87

EU regulators' April 28, 2026, report extends Digital Markets Act (DMA) enforcement to cloud and AI, probing if Microsoft and Amazon cloud units qualify as 'gatekeepers.' DMA, applicable since May 2023, has improved data portability; now it eyes AI as virtual assistants. Big Tech like Apple warns of privacy risks, consumer groups seek tougher action. Market stayed muted with Microsoft up 0.72% to ~$427.87 intraday, but gatekeeper status could hike compliance costs and curb practices.
