Eggs are finally getting cheaper at the supermarket, according to the latest consumer price index released on Tuesday. 

Egg prices fell nearly 7 percent in February from the month before. This is the first decline in months. 

The cost of eggs is still up 55 percent from a year ago, as avian flu, supply chain snags, and egg producers' lining their own pockets pushed up prices. 

Federal data tracked by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis showed that a dozen large Grade A eggs cost $4.21 in February, which is down 13 percent from a record high in January. 

The consumer price index overall increased 0.4 percent in February, a slight deceleration from the month before. Year-over-year inflation, meanwhile, was 6 percent.

Poll: More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration
A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
Tylenol maker rebounds a day after unfounded claims about its safety
Shares of Tylenol maker Kenvue are bouncing back sharply before the opening bell a day after President Donald Trump promoted unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
