The Business News Headlines 12 August 2026

The good news is that inflation cooled a bit in July but Americans continue to have trouble with the rising cost of used cars to healthcare. That story is where we start this evening. This is the Business News Headlines for Wednesday the 12th day of August, thanks for listening. In other news, Wall Street ended the day mixed. The government wants to do away with collecting workplace demographics and the push-back. Yet another lawsuit brought against the President and what this is about. Google has introduced some new phones and we’ll share what we know. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and the amount of credit card debt owed by Americans rises once again.

Thanks for listening!
