And while wholesale, or business inflation, is rising much faster, it raises questions around if, and when, businesses may try to unload more of that inflation pain onto their customers. S. wholesale inflation soared in September to the highest level in more than four years, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) jumping 1.3 per cent from the month before and 6.3 per cent from the same month in 2025.

AI agents like Instinct and Muse are quickly becoming personal shoppers — and some are finding the tools need to be kept on a short leash. From finding cheap airline tickets to ordering groceries, three shoppers told Business Insider that they are using the agents to automate parts of their shopping.
