Microsoft Pledges to Protect European Operations, Unveils Data Center Expansion
Microsoft pledged Wednesday to fight any US government order to halt data center operations in Europe as it sought to soothe concerns among European customers that trans-Atlantic tensions would lead to service disruptions. The company's president, Brad Smith, said it's not something that officials are talking about in Washington, D.C. but it is a 'real concern' for Microsoft's customers across Europe, which include governments. President Donald Trump has stoked tensions between the US and Europe with his tariff-fueled trade war, and alarmed European leaders with policy changes, including pausing intelligence sharing with Ukraine, that throw into doubt his administration's commitment to the trans-Atlantic relationship, The AP news reported. Smith, speaking at an event in Brussels, tried to allay concerns as he announced that the company was expanding data center operations across Europe. 'What we want Europeans to know is that they can count on us,' he said in a speech. 'In the unlikely event we are ever ordered by any government anywhere in the world to suspend or cease cloud operations in Europe, we are committing that Microsoft will promptly and vigorously contest such a measure using all legal avenues available, including by pursuing litigation in court,' Smith wrote in a Wednesday blog post. He noted that Microsoft has experience fighting lawsuits from the previous Trump administration as well as from former President Barack Obama's administration. 'If we ever find ourselves losing we will put in place business continuity arrangements' that include storing computer code in Switzerland that European partners can access, he said. Microsoft is making five digital commitments to Europe, including increasing its data center capacity by 40 in 16 countries over the next two years, Smith said. The expansion will cost tens of billions of dollars annually. Smith declined to be more specific about the cost when asked by reporters. The expansion comes amid calls for Europe to assert tech and data sovereignty by weaning itself off reliance from big US cloud data service providers, including Microsoft, Amazon and, to a lesser extent, Google. 'Given recent geopolitical volatility, we recognize that European governments likely will consider additional options,' and Microsoft is committed to collaborating with European companies, Smith said.

Gold Hits Record High on Trade War Woes, Weak Dollar
Gold scaled a record peak on Monday, spurred by concerns over global economic growth amid the US-China trade war, while a weaker dollar further boosted the rally. Spot gold advanced 1.9% to $3,391.02 an ounce as of 0641 GMT after hitting a record high of $3,391.62 earlier in the session. US gold futures firmed 2.2% to $3,402.80. The dollar index hit a three-year low, making gold more attractive for other currency holders, Reuters said. "Fundamentally, markets are pricing in heightened geopolitical risks, driven by US tariff tensions and stagflation concerns, while resilient central bank demand offers an added tailwind for prices as well," said IG market strategist Yeap Jun Rong. US President Donald Trump announced "reciprocal tariffs" on dozens of countries on April 2, and while his administration paused levies for some countries, it has ratcheted its trade battle with China. On Monday, China warned countries against striking a broader economic deal with the US at its expense, a move Trump is reportedly seeking from countries looking for tariff reductions or exemptions. Meanwhile, Trump launched a series of attacks against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with his team evaluating whether they could fire Powell. On the geopolitical front, Russia and Ukraine accused each other of thousands of attacks that violated the one-day Easter ceasefire declared by President Vladimir Putin, with the Kremlin saying there was no order to extend the pause in frontline fighting. These issues bode well for the safe-haven bullion. However, gold's relative strength index (RSI) stands at 75, indicating that the metal is overbought. "The next potential milestone for gold could be around the $3,500 level, though positioning may appear crowded in the near term and technical indicators suggest near-term overbought conditions," IG's Rong said. Spot silver added 0.8% to $32.84 an ounce, platinum gained 1% to $976.60, while palladium fell 0.2% to $961.50.
