Colombia earthquake death toll rises as frantic search for survivors continues Rescuers call for silence in the search for survivors amid the rubble of a collapsed building after an earthquake in Pereira, Colombia, on Aug. 12, 2026. Luis Acosta /AFP via Getty Images Tons of aid from regional partners began to roll into Colombia on Wednesday, as the search for survivors in the rubble of a powerful earthquake grew more desperate after the temblor razed buildings, buckled roads and crushed cars. The devastation has tested Colombia's new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, and his government as it scrambles to respond to the disaster and civil society as it pushes to provide aid to the most affected communities.

CPI report shows inflation eased in July to a 3.4% annual pace Inflation eased for the second consecutive month, rising at a 3.4% annual pace in July, in line with economists' expectations and a signal that some consumer price pressures may be easing. By the numbers Economists polled by the financial data firm FactSet predicted July inflation rose at an annual rate of 3.4%. The CPI, a basket of goods and services typically bought by consumers, tracks changes in prices over time. Core CPI, which excludes the more volatile energy and food categories, also slowed in July, rising at an annual rate of 2.5%, down from 2.6% in June. Inflation has eased since hitting a three-year high of 4.2% in May, when oil prices...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Hospitals push for upfront payments as patient deductibles and out-of-pocket costs rise Thomas Zordani flew from his home in Denver to Phoenix for a consultation with a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon, hoping to find out what could be done to treat his debilitating headaches after worrisome brain scan findings. When making the appointment, Zordani said, he'd been told the clinic was in his insurer's network. Upon arrival, Zordani was summoned to the clinic's financial office and told he had to make a $5,000 preservice deposit, because Mayo had since determined it did not accept his insurance. He was automatically designated "self-pay," even though his plan had out-of-network benefits. Not having that kind of cash on hand — and angry on principle — he refused. His appointment was canceled.

Eli Lilly takes aim at illicit market for its experimental weight-loss drug Eli Lilly said Wednesday it is suing six companies selling versions of its experimental weight-loss drug retatrutide, calling it the beginning of a concerted effort to crack down on a vast illicit market. That market has boomed even though retatrutide is still being studied in clinical trials and hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective. Federal law prohibits the commercial sale of unapproved drugs, but many telehealth firms, clinics and peptide vendors online have decided to offer the next-generation drug anyway, as promising results from Eli Lilly's trials have fueled a craze for it on social media.

Saquon Barkley dropped to fourth on the running back pay scale, with Jahmyr Gibbs, who now leads the way, Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor joining him in the $20 million-per-year club last week.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency can only issue tariff refunds to the so-called importer of record — the entity that directly paid one of the emergency tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year. But businesses that receive refunds for International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, tariffs can choose to keep them in their entirety or pass along some of the money to consumers.

Gas prices have never topped $4 per gallon on Labor Day, AAA noted. Prices shot up after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in February and haven't settled down since.

Higher Treasury yields raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, and can also weigh on stock prices.
