A closely watched measure of inflation eased last month, an encouraging sign for the economy after three consecutive months of uncomfortably rapid price increases.
The Consumer Price Index climbed 3.4 percent in April, down from 3.5 percent in March, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The “core” index — which strips out volatile food and fuel prices in order to give a sense of the underlying trend — rose 3.6 percent last month, down from 3.8 percent a month earlier. It was the lowest annual increase in core inflation since early 2021.

According to NASA, the latest X solar flare was at 12:51 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 14, and one earlier at 8:55 a.m.. Tuesday's two X-classified solar flares followed Monday's peak eruption at 10:55 p.m.

Google is adding AI to your search experience. Starting this week, US users will see a “fully revamped” Google search experience enhanced with AI features, the tech giant announced yesterday. Some searches will come with what the company calls “AI Overviews,” AI-generated summaries that appear above the search results. Publishers are worried that the Overviews will stop users from clicking on their links, but Google claims that links with Overviews actually get more clicks. Google is racing to infuse its products with artificial intelligence as it grapples with OpenAI and Microsoft for dominance in the space.
