creuxnoir/iStock via Getty Images By Peter C. Earle In April, AIER’s Everyday Price Index posted one of its sharpest two-month increases since the series began in 1987. Rising service costs point to a long-term problem. AIER’s proprietary Everyday Price Index (EPI) surged 1.6 percent to 312.3 in April 2026. Among the index’s twenty-four constituents, the prices of thirteen rose, nine declined, and two were unchanged. The largest increases were seen in motor fuel, postage and delivery services, and subscription and rental of video, while the largest declines occurred in recreational reading materials, internet services, electronic information providers, and nonprescription drugs. The recent surge in the EPI is historically significant. After rising 2.5 percent in March 2026 and another 1.6 percent this month, the index has posted a compounded two-month increase of roughly 4.1 percent: the fifth-largest back-to-back monthly advance in the entire history of the series dating back to 1987. Only four periods exceeded it: June 2008 (4.8 percent), September 2005 (4.6 percent), June 2022 (4.6 percent), and March 2022 (4.3 percent). The March 2026 monthly increase alone ranks as the third-largest single-month gain on record, trailing only September 2005 (3.3 percent) and March 2022 (3.0 percent). Historically, the largest spikes in the EPI have tended to cluster around major energy disruptions, geopolitical shocks, or periods of acute inflationary pressure, making the current episode highly consistent with prior periods of commodity and macroeconomic stress. Of particular note, three of the five largest two-month increases in the index’s nearly 40-year history have now occurred since 2022, underscoring the unusually volatile and inflationary character of the post-pandemic economic environment. More broadly, the recent behavior of the AIER Everyday Price Index highlights the persistence of the modern affordability crisis, as the prices of essential, frequently purchased goods...

Chinese electric vehicle brands Neta and Zeekr inflated sales in recent years to hit aggressive targets, with Neta doing so for more than 60,000 cars. Koiguo | Moment | Getty Images Bipartisan lawmakers from Michigan on Tuesday announced legislation that would ban Chinese-made "connected vehicles," software and hardware from the U.S. market, ahead of President Donald Trump 's meeting this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping . Rep. John Moolenaar , R-Mich., chairman of the House Select Committee on China, and Rep. Debbie Dingell , D-Mich., rolled out the " Connected Vehicle Security Act ," closely mirroring bipartisan Senate legislation from Sens. Elissa Slotkin , D-Mich., and Bernie Moreno , R-Ohio, that would codify Biden-era connected vehicle restrictions over national security and data collection concerns. Connected vehicles have internet access and wireless connectivity with other cars or trucks, technology that supporters say can enhance roadway safety. "We are not competing on a level playing field when Chinese subsidizes its manufacturers, it manipulates its currency [and] it uses slave labor. That's not a level playing field," Dingell said in a press conference Tuesday announcing the bill . "What [China is] trying to do is to get inside our country and fight us from within." Under the proposal, prohibitions on connected vehicle software would take effect Jan. 1, 2027, while restrictions on hardware would begin Jan. 1, 2030. The bill also would cover Russia , North Korea and Iran. The legislation comes as automakers, suppliers, dealers and steelmakers ramp up warnings that heavily subsidized Chinese automakers could undercut the U.S. industrial base if allowed into the market. More than 120 bipartisan House lawmakers last month urged Trump not to allow Chinese automakers into the U.S., after the president suggested in January he would be open to Chinese automakers building factories in America if they hired U.S. workers. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick a...

Development Work for DeepView ® Systems Continues with Support of Recently Awarded $31.7 Million of Funding from BARDA

artisteer/iStock via Getty Images I've retained a "Buy" rating for Bentley Systems, Incorporated ( BSY ). Its 1Q26 EPS was equivalent to an impressive high-single-digit percent beat. The company's runway is long, considering AI- and geopolitical-related growth catalysts. BSY's better-than-anticipated 4Q25 performance and FY26 guide were the focus of my prior February 27, 2026, update . Q1 Bottom Line Was A Positive Surprise Last Thursday morning, the group issued a press release revealing its most recent financial metrics. Normalized earnings went up 40.7% sequentially and 8.6% year-on-year to $0.38/share in Jan-Mar '26. This was 7% ahead of the consensus forecast. In my view, its results were boosted by faster topline expansion and wider "Gross Profit Margins/GPMs." BSY's YoY turnover growth improved from 1Q2025's +9.7% and 4Q2025's +11.9% to +14.5% for the latest three-month period. The "Resources" end market was the difference-maker. A detailed breakdown by segment wasn't provided. But the corporate presentation referred to it as the "second largest and fastest growing sector" in 1Q2026, which benefited from "improving mining fundamentals." Bentley bought a company "Seequent" a few years ago. At the March 2021 M&A call (S&P Capital IQ transcript), the acquiree was called a "New Zealand-based subsurface geoscience software leader." The firm's inorganic move has paid off. All but one of the top-10 global miners currently rely on Seequent's solutions. Management indicated at the analyst briefing that it increased "subsurface ARR in civil infrastructure by a factor of 4" since '21 by "cross-selling into the existing Bentley accounts." "ARR" stands for "Annualized Recurring Revenue." Also, BSY's 1Q26 GPM rose by 30bps YoY and 70bps QoQ to 82.6%. Its sales composition has become more favorable with the proportion of subscription-related revenues going up from 1Q2025's 92% to 1Q2026's 93%. SA contributor Donovan Jones's December 1, 2025, submission noted that the enterp...
