The Associated Press is streamlining its delivery of markets agate or data files on its business feed as it retires the aging server that has powered these fixtures for decades. As a result, AP's business data tabular or text files delivered on this feed will include the following lineup starting Monday, June 2. Any other business or market data files delivered at this time via the AP Media API or AP Newsroom will be discontinued after final delivery on Friday, May 30.
