variants
World
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Cadell Walker rushed to get her 9-year-old daughter
Solome vaccinated against COVID-19 — not just to protect her but to help stop
the coronavirus from spreading and spawning even more dangerous variants.“Love thy neighbor is something that we really do believe, and we want to
be good community members and want to model that thinking for our daughter,”
said the 40-year-old Louisville mom, who recently took Solome to a local middle
school for her shot. “The only way to really beat COVID is for all of us
collectively to work together for the greater good.”

Rising prices threaten profit margins at food companies
World
Albertsons, Mondelez and Kroger are among a wide range of companies whose
profits could be squeezed from rising food prices if inflation keeps running
hot.So far grocery stores, restaurants and food producers have passed along
much of inflation’s impact to consumers, who have eaten most of the increase.
The industry’s profit margins have been tightening throughout 2021 and analysts
are growing concerned that margins could feel an even tighter pinch as
companies absorb more of the persistently rising costs and consumers possibly
change shopping habits to adapt.

The stock market is happy; the bond market is showing
worry
World

everything from stocks to Bitcoin near record highs. That’s not the case in the
market often seen as the most steady and sober of them all: government bonds.In
the bond market, yield can be thought of as what an investor demands to be paid
for loaning Uncle Sam money. Normally, the longer it takes to get paid back,
the more an investor wants to be paid.
