A recent audit for prices at the airport’s Airmall showed that some of the shops are overcharging for what they sell. Businesses inside the airport are not allowed to mark up prices simply because they are in the airport. Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner said that 29 of the businesses offered at least one item at a marked up price. Overall the audit revealed 22% of items were priced too high.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks wobbled between small gains and losses in early trading Friday as investors focused on another round of mostly solid corporate earnings. Trading is more subdued and cautious on Wall Street, following China’s report Thursday of a surge in cases of a new virus that could crimp global economic growth. Solid gains from earlier in the week are still holding and keeping the major indexes on track for weekly gains. Technology companies gained ground in the early going. Chipmaker Nvidia was a standout after it handily beat analysts’ profit forecasts. Expedia and Newell Brands climbed on solid earnings.
