On November 15th, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) drafted the "Guidelines for Anti-Monopoly Compliance of Internet Platforms (Draft for Public Comment)," which was released for public comment. To help platform operators better identify anti-monopoly compliance risks and enhance the readability and vividness of the provisions, the "Guidelines," drawing on anti-monopoly regulatory enforcement experience, lists eight risks for platform operators using examples: algorithmic collusion between platforms, organizing and assisting platform operators in reaching monopoly agreements, unfair pricing by platforms, selling below cost by platforms, account blocking, "choose one of two" practices, "lowest price across the entire network," and platform discrimination. These eight risk examples provide clear indications of monopoly risks in specific scenarios for internet platforms, covering various platform operations such as data transmission, algorithm application, service pricing, search ranking, recommendation display, traffic allocation, and subsidies. Platform operators are encouraged to proactively conduct risk assessments and self-checks based on the risk examples listed in the "Guidelines" to avoid the anti-monopoly compliance risks mentioned in the examples. However, determining whether an act constitutes a monopolistic act prohibited by the Anti-Monopoly Law requires investigation, evidence collection, analysis, and argumentation based on the Anti-Monopoly Law and related regulations before a conclusion can be reached.The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 309.74 points, or 0.65%, at 47,147.48 on Friday, November 14; the S&P 500 closed down 3.38 points, or 0.05%, at 6,734.11; and the Nasdaq Composite closed up 30.23 points, or 0.13%, at 22,900.59.Federal Reserve Governor Milan: A December rate cut is very appropriate.
