CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX has returned four astronauts from the International Space Station with a midnight splashdown off the Florida coast. Friday’s homecoming for the three Americans and one German caps the busiest month yet for Elon Musk’s space taxi service. The astronauts rode back to Earth in the same capsule that delivered them to the space station last November. They departed the orbiting lab Thursday, after spending nearly a week with their replacements. Their mission was highlighted by NASA’s first paying guests, three millionaires who visited last month. SpaceX handled everyone’s travel.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates resumed their ascent this week, as the key 30-year loan reached its highest point since 2009. The increases came in the week preceding the widely anticipated action by the Federal Reserve, announced Wednesday, to intensify its fight against the worst inflation in 40 years by raising its benchmark interest rate by a half-percentage point and signaling further large rate hikes to come. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reports that the 30-year rate rose to 5.27% from 5.1% last week. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages jumped to 4.52% from 4.4% last week.

LONDON (AP) — OPEC and allied oil-producing countries are gradually increasing the amount of crude they send to the world. That decision Thursday comes even as Europe’s proposed phaseout of Russian oil threatens to yank millions of barrels off a global market already thirsty for crude. The cautious approach from the OPEC+ alliance — which includes non-member Russia — will exacerbate a global energy crunch. Prices are expected to rise further for oil and the gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel made from it. OPEC+ has stuck with its road map to gradually open the oil taps, agreeing to add 432,000 barrels per day in June.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — It’s been two months since the contentious, once-a-decade process to redraw Pennsylvania legislative districts wrapped up. These days a couple hundred candidates hoping to unseat or succeed state lawmakers are rushing headlong into the homestretch of a primary election that will greatly cull their numbers. The state’s legislative redistricting commission produced a map reflecting dramatic shifts in demographics and giving Democrats hope they can gain seats in a General Assembly that has been controlled by Republican majorities for nearly all of the last three decades. Going before voters in the May 17 primary election will be candidates for all 203 House and 25 of 50 Senate seats.
