Gas prices at record high for any Labor Day weekend It's never been more expensive in the U.S. to fill up the tank and take one last summer trip over the Labor Day weekend. The average price of regular gas was $4.14 a gallon heading into the holiday, nearly a dollar higher than last year and well above the Labor Day weekend record of $3.82 from 2012, according to the AAA motor club. 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. Crude oil traffic through the key Strait of Hormuz has plunged, and Iran has refused to reopen the waterway.

No one predicted that it would happen in the group stage against Italy. After all, Italy was making its first World Cup appearance since 1994, and the Americans beat the Italians by 44 at the World Cup Qualifying Tournament in March. Yet as a tense 40 minutes in Berlin came to a close, Team USA could only stand and watch as Cecilia Zandalasini's 3-pointer floated toward the rim. If it went in, there would be overtime. Instead, it drifted well wide and Breanna Stewart grabbed the rebound to secure a 55-52 victory for Team USA. This...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Health benefits consulting firm Marsh projects that the total health benefit cost per employee, which measures both employer and employee premium contributions, will rise by an average of 8.2% in 2027, the steepest increase since 2003. That forecast factors in cost-saving steps employers plan to take, such as raising deductibles, which typically lower monthly premiums for employees but increase their out-of-pocket costs.

The discussion got new fuel when the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Monday that, just days before the attack that sparked the war in Gaza and arguably...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Afghan girls who study in secret want you to read their "letters to the world" 21 Afghan girls bravely defying the Taliban by continuing to study handed CBS News letters containing their stifled, often humble dreams "for an ordinary life."  In a basement in a quiet corner of Kabul, CBS News was granted rare access this week to a secret school where teen girls dare to continue their education in defiance of a draconian Taliban regime — girls who want their voices to be heard. The students, aged 14 to 16, surprised our team by asking us to share deeply personal messages each had written by hand, begging the world outside to help them escape conditions that have grown unfathomably worse in the five years since the Taliban retook power.

Feds to buy up to $6 billion in Treasury bonds in move to ease borrowing costs U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that the agency will buy up to $6 billion in long-term government bonds as part of an effort to curb rising yields and ease borrowing costs. The Treasury Department vowed last month to "at least" double its bond buybacks to $4 billion to prop up prices. Higher Treasury yields raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, and can also weigh on stock prices. Government Treasury purchases reduce supply, boosting bond prices and reducing yields (Bond yields are inversely related to prices, meaning that as yields rise, bond prices fall.)

After Mr. Trump raised the idea of such a dividend on Wednesday night at the Republican National Committee's midterm convention, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that the U.S. would fund the payment using tariff revenue collected by the Trump administration, and that it would be aimed at the middle class. Those tariffs are generating about $125 billion in annual revenue — one-tenth of the $1.25 trillion that would be...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

By the numbers Economists polled by FactSet expected inflation to rise in August at an annual rate of 3.3%. The CPI, a basket of goods and services typically bought by consumers, tracks changes in prices over time. Inflation has moderated...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

How Iran's regional allies' attacks in Yemen are compounding the war's impact on oil prices Escalating fighting between Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia, and attacks by other Iranian proxy forces on Saudi infrastructure, are increasing the threat to tanker traffic in the Middle East and driving up global fuel costs more than six months after the U.S. and Israel launched their war on Iran. Direct clashes between the U.S. and Iran have severely reduced shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, but the Houthi-Saudi tension, and attacks on Saudi infrastructure blamed on other Iran-backed groups, are also squeezing global fuel supplies in the nearby Red Sea. Before the war began, about 30% of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

DOJ defends Trump White House media ban, citing national security and professionalism and decorum Justice Department lawyers on Tuesday defended President Trump's move to bar three news outlets from the White House over coverage of his administration, arguing that their reporting raises national security concerns and claiming their journalists failed to act with "professionalism and decorum." In a filing with a federal district court in Washington, D.C., the Trump administration argued the president's ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico is legally sound. Reporters from those news organizations were stripped of their press credentials, also called "hard passes," denying them access to the White House grounds.

Mortgage rates top 7% for the first time in more than 2 years Mortgage rates soared past 7% last week, reaching their highest level in more than two years, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 7.12% the week ending Sept. 18, the MBA said. It was last that high in May 2024, according to the mortgage industry group. The higher rates add to buyers' borrowing costs at a time when housing prices remain near record highs. As fixed rates continued to climb, more buyers opted for riskier adjustable-rate mortgages, which offer a lower initial rate, Mike Fratantoni, senior vice president and chief economist at the MBA, said in a statement. Rates for 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgages, which...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Diesel prices just hit a new record. Would a U.S. export ban bring relief? Some Republican lawmakers are calling for a ban on U.S. diesel exports as a way to lower record-high prices. But energy experts warn the move could backfire and drive diesel prices even higher by worsening the global supply crunch. Average diesel costs hit a record $6.53 a gallon on Tuesday, up 77% from a year ago, according to AAA data. Diesel is vital across the nation's agriculture, trucking and construction sectors, with the price surge especially painful for farmers and small businesses. Many of the calls for a diesel export ban are coming from lawmakers in states with agriculture-rich economies. Iowa Republicans Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep.
