At the same time, Moynihan said that the sales and trading business should once again record year-on-year growth, achieving medium-to-high single-digit growth in the last quarter of this year. Analysts predict that market revenue will increase by 8.2% to $4.06 billion.

More than 20 price comparison websites in Europe criticized Google's suggestions for modifying its search results on Wednesday, saying that these suggestions still did not meet the technical rules of the European Union, and urged regulators to file charges against Google.

Last month, the company announced its latest proposal, which includes expanding the unit with the same format, allowing users to choose between comparison websites and supplier websites. If it can't reach an agreement with its competitors, it may return to the "ten blue links" format many years ago as an alternative.
