A customer shops for beef at a grocery store in Los Angeles, April 6, 2026. Justin Sullivan | Getty Images U.S. consumers are blaming the Iran War for the recent inflation surge. But data shows prices are rising in more areas than just energy. The consumer price index climbed 0.6% in April on a seasonally adjusted basis, bringing the 12-month inflation rate to 3.8%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. Annual inflation is now advancing at its hottest clip in nearly three years. "Consumers are doing their best to absorb higher energy costs, but they're not finding much relief elsewhere," said Bret Kenwell, U.S. investment analyst at eToro. "Inflation pressure isn't just at the pump, it's showing up across the household budget." Tuesday's report comes days after the University of Michigan released a record-low preliminary reading for consumer sentiment. Rising oil prices tied to the Middle East conflict were a key detractor on confidence, according to the release. But Tuesday's CPI data shows consumers are facing sticker shock in other areas. Here are some of the places where prices are rising fast: Housing An apartment for rent in the Center Square neighborhood of Albany. A recent study found that wages are outpacing rent prices across the Capital Region. Timothy Fanning | Albany Times Union | Getty Images Shelter inflation rose 0.6% in April, pushing its year-over-year increase to 3.3%. Within the housing category, lodging away from home jumped 2.4% in April for a 12-month gain of 4.6% Tenant and household insurance ticked up 0.1% in April, placing its annual inflation rate at 7.2%. Economists have been closely monitoring housing inflation since the economic data lapse during the government shutdown last year. They raised alarm that price changes for owners' equivalent rent — a hypothetical measure of what property owners can get for their dwellings and a key factor in overall housing market inflation — were not adequately captured , leading to skewed re...

Benjamin Fanjoy/Getty Images News Several GOP attorneys general are asking for a Securities and Exchange Commission review of OpenAI ( OPENAI ) CEO Sam Altman’s personal investments as the company heads for an IPO, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Republicans noted in the letter that Altman’s deals with companies he invests in could pose conflict-of-interest concerns, as OpenAI’s involvement could increase the value of the other companies. The letter cites an April article by the WSJ that detailed Altman’s efforts to have OpenAI back companies he personally invested in, the report added . The attorneys general from Florida, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, West Virginia, and Louisiana said Altman “has a history of self-dealing and serious conflicts of interest that have created significant risk for the company," according to the report. OpenAI did not immediately respond to Seeking Alpha's request for comment. Altman is also under scrutiny from House Republicans. On Friday, the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Altman requesting a briefing from a top executive about potential conflicts of interest and documents outlining the company’s governance practices. "The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating potential conflicts of interest involving capital from nonprofit corporations invested in startups and other for-profit companies, with a focus on whether such investments are used to artificially inflate valuations," said the letter.
