Event summary
Alphabet's Class C stock (GOOG) closed higher on Friday despite broader market declines, as Google faces a new antitrust probe in Belgium regarding its ad pricing methods. Simultaneously, South Korea approved Google’s request to export high-precision map data with strict security controls, potentially improving Google Maps functionality in the country. Investors are now watching how these regulatory and market developments will impact GOOG stock as trading resumes on Monday, especially with upcoming U.S. labor data and the Federal Reserve meeting on the horizon.
