An encouraging update on inflation helps Wall Street hold steadier after its AI-related sell-off

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is holding steadier Friday after an encouraging update on inflation helped calm a Wall Street that’s been wracked by worries about how artificial-intelligence technology may upend the business world.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, but the majority of stocks within the index are climbing a day after one of its worst losses since Thanksgiving. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 76 points, or 0.2%, as of 10 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.3% lower.

The World Cup means slashed wages and displacement for some of Mexico City's poor

AP News MEXICO CITY (AP) — Montserrat Fuentes stands on the same street corner where she has worked for 20 years. But the sex worker’s normal rush of clients every Friday night is nowhere to be seen.

Instead, the busy Mexico City throughway where some 2,500 sex workers make their living is lined with construction, part of larger preparations in the Mexican capital leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup over the summer.

Fuentes, 42, and others say they have seen their earnings slashed by government projects meant to clean up swathes of the city before opening its arms to...

Teachers describe immigration enforcement's impact on classrooms in challenge of Trump policy

AP News In one testimonial after another, teachers detailed all the ways President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has shaped their work and the lives of their students.

In a court filing Thursday, educators around the country described rumors of immigration raids that scared away students, immigrant parents who stopped sending their children to school altogether, and stories of parents and students — including one middle schooler — being picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at school bus stops.

The stories were shared as part of a a lawsuit challenging a...
