05:09 AM EDT, 09/01/2026 (MT Newswires) -- WPP (WPP) plans to eliminate as many as 1,000 additional jobs by the end of 2026 as part of a restructuring move aimed at reducing costs, the Financial Times reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The planned reductions would follow roughly 11,000 job cuts at WPP since the start of 2025, leaving the advertising group's workforce at 97,388 as of June 30, according to the report. WPP is also reviewing its property footprint and plans to sell non-core businesses as part of the overhaul, the report said. WPP did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

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.
