03:58 PM EDT, 08/31/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with Bayer's response in the last paragraph.) Takeda Pharmaceutical (TAK), Bayer, CSL, and other mid-size biotech firms are set to announce new pricing deals with the White House on Monday, the Financial Times reported, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The deals will be similar to those finalized by large pharmaceutical companies in which they agreed to lower prices in exchange for tariff relief, according to the report. A Bayer spokesperson said the company had no information to share on the Most Favored Nation drug pricing policy at the moment, while Takeda and CSL did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.

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.
