WRAPUP 1-Consumer gulf widens as demand for premium and budget foods grows
From Nestle to Danone, food companies are seeing shoppers that want either premium or cheaper products, with less interest in items in the middle, particularly in developed markets like North America. The packaged goods industry has for over two years hit shoppers with higher prices, citing higher costs that started with the pandemic and were exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Everything from sunflower oil to freight has become more expensive, taking a toll on global supply chains and consumers struggling to make ends meet.

Pearly King who inspired Del Boy campaigns to keep Cockney tradition alive
One of the last remaining 'Pearly Kings' who was the inspiration behind Del Boy is fighting to keep the Cockney tradition alive - saying there are only around 12 left. George Major, 86, who was crowned The Pearly King of Peckham more than 65 years ago, said there were once more than 400 like him. But he says he is now only one of around a dozen left carrying the torch. He still wears his original pearls with pride to welcome visitors six days a week at the world's only Cockney museum that he set up four years ago. But he said the younger generation were shying away from the east end Victorian tradition - and it was now in grave danger of dying out for good.

UK-listed drugmaker Indivior seeks shareholder nod for US listing
Indivior had, in February, announced its intent to shift its listing by the middle of the year to the U.S., which, it argued, reflected its growth opportunities as its proprietary treatments are U.S.-centred and U.S.-based investors account for nearly 50% of its overall shareholder base. The list of UK-based companies that have already listed in the United States includes ARM, the UK's biggest chip company, as well as building supplies firm CRH and plumbing equipment company Ferguson. Indivior also reaffirmed its annual outlook after logging in a 12% net revenue growth in the first quarter, boosted by strong demand for its Sublocade treatment for opioid use disorder.

Israel could be Biden’s Vietnam
