Good morning and welcome to Markets Desk.
The Trade Desk is cutting fifteen percent of its workforce in a structural overhaul that CEO Jeff Green says will reorganize the adtech firm into smaller, more focused operating units.

Shifting to shipping, Dorian LPG is making a major capital commitment, ordering three ninety-thousand-cubic-meter dual-fuel very large gas carriers from South Korea's Hanwha Ocean in a deal worth approximately three hundred forty-five million dollars.

That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
