Hey Snackers,

Love wearing pins on your lapel but hate that they’re not AI-powered? Apple is developing a product for you: a mysterious AI-powered wearable device that looks like a “thin, flat, circular disc with an aluminum-and-glass shell,” according to The Information. Similar to the phenomenon of “The Simpsons” predicting the future, the Netflix animated comedy “Big Mouth” satirized the idea of a pinnable tech accessory in the 2022 episode “The Apple Brooch,” in which the Apple brooch was voiced by Jeff Goldblum. 

The S&P 500 continued to climb on Thursday, but the benchmark index is still lower than it was prior to President Trump’s European tariff threats. Big Tech helped propel stocks higher, with every Magnificent 7 constituent gaining. The Russell 2000 continued its outperformance streak, beating the S&P 500 for the 14th consecutive session. November PCE, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, remained in line with economists’ forecasts.
