01:33 PM EDT, 08/31/2026 (MT Newswires) -- UBS (UBS) can meet 50% of its new capital requirements with debt, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing a recommendation from the upper house of the Swiss parliament's Economic Affairs and Taxation Committee. Specifically, the panel recommended that UBS be allowed to meet half of the new requirements with convertible AT1 debt rather than the highest-quality equity, according to the news outlet. UBS didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
