US producer inflation trends higher; labor market remains stable
Inflation hit 7-month high of 3% in January. Here’s what it means for Fed rate cuts
Inflation in the US hit a seventh-month high of 3% in January, driven by food and energy costs. Core inflation, which excludes these items, also rose, reaching 3.3% annually. This increase may delay Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. President Trump’s tariffs on imports could further boost inflation. Some economists believe these changes might be overstated due to early-year measurement issues. The months ahead could see inflation easing before rising again due to tariffs, impacting the broader economic landscape.

‘I thought I was done for’: Watch video of humpback whale ‘swallow’ kayaker
Adrian Semanas and his dad were kayaking in Chile when a humpback whale briefly swallowed him. His dad caught the moment on camera. Adrian felt like he was in a scene from Pinocchio. He described the sensation as being hit by a strong wave and feeling slimy textures. Luckily, the whale released him within seconds. Humpback whales feed on krill and small fish, and it’s impossible for them to swallow humans because their throats are too small. Both men were unharmed and still plan to kayak together—Adrian said, “Yeah, I want to go back.”

U.K. Fossil Tour Guide Discovers Rare Dinosaur Track Imprinted in Clay on the Isle of Wight
Joe Thompson, a fossil tour guide, made a rare discovery on the Isle of Wight. He found a dinosaur footprint in the Wessex Formation. This track likely belongs to an ornithopod dinosaur, possibly an Iguanodon. These herbivorous dinosaurs roamed the earth 110 to 140 million years ago and were known for their distinctive thumb spikes. Such finds are fleeting, quickly eroding once exposed. This discovery adds to our understanding of the Early Cretaceous period following recent significant finds of dinosaur footprints in the UK.
