NEW YORK (AP) — Big U.S. companies are telling investors they earned fatter profits during the spring than feared. All they're getting from Wall Street is a fat yawn. Profits are the lifeblood of the stock market, and prices tend to track their movements over the long term. So it's routine for stocks to get a comfortable boost when companies report results for a quarter that are better than analysts expected. Over the last five years, stocks in the S&P 500 have risen an average of 1% in the four days around a better-than-forecast profit report, from two days before to two days after, according to FactSet.

OTTAWA – Canada‘s national statistics agency on Tuesday revealed new weights for the basket of goods and services in its Consumer Price Index, giving more prominence to changes in the prices of food and gasoline. The reweighting, which Statistics Canada carries out every year, has historically had only a marginal impact on the headline number. The new basket weights will be applied to May's inflation data, due out on June 27. The rebalancing reflects changes in 2022 compared to 2021. Statscan said the alterations were designed to take into account the continuing recovery from the impact of COVID-19.

Emory Vaccine Center researchers say they have identified the Achilles heel of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Part of the viral fusion machinery seems to stay the same among several viral variants, and this vulnerable machinery is what the antiviral peptide Yongshi targets. A peptide is a small protein or fragment of a protein.  Derived from a natural antiviral peptide produced by wild boar, Yongshi (meaning "warrior" in Mandarin) can prevent SARS-CoV-2 from infecting host cells. The scientists are now studying how to adapt the peptide for clinical use.
