Good morning, you're listening to Markets Desk.

Apple is rattling the digital advertising world again. A new update buried inside iOS twenty-seven is drawing sharp concern from adtech firms and marketers alike. The change threatens to further limit how advertisers track and target users across the web, and the industry is already bracing for meaningful revenue disruption as brands reassess their digital spend strategies.

Shifting to the broader economy, new research is drawing a direct line between immigration enforcement surges and measurable damage to local business activity. In Minneapolis and other affected cities, foot traffic dropped, spending contracted, and jobs disappeared in the wake of ICE operations. The findings matter for investors watching consumer-facing sectors in regions with large immigrant labor and consumer bases.

And Nvidia continues to be the story that won't quit. The chipmaker's stock is pressing fresh all-time highs, carried by relentless capital spending from hyperscalers and enterprise players building out artificial intelligence infrastructure. With demand showing no signs of softening and forward estimates still climbing, Nvidia remains the clearest proxy trade on the AI buildout cycle for equity investors.

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