Bayer Gets Boost From Older Drugs, Corn Seeds in Outlook Lift

Bloomberg06-08-2025
Bayer AG benefited from surprisingly strong demand for its aging blockbuster eye and blood-thinning medicines in the second quarter, helping the German company raise its forecast for the year.
Sales of the eye treatment Eylea came in at €862 million ($998 million) for the period, exceeding analyst estimates, while blood-thinner Xarelto added another €650 million despite facing new generic competition, according to a statement Wednesday that offered a fuller picture of the company's performance than last week's initial announcement.

Swiss see risk of tariffs increasing cost of U.S. F-35A jets

(Reuters) -Switzerland remains committed to buying Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter jets from the United States despite an unclear total cost of procurement in part due to the impact of U.S. tariffs, the government said on Wednesday. The Swiss government reaffirmed its commitment to buying the jets a week after the United States imposed some of its highest tariff rates worldwide on Switzerland due to the size of the U.S. trade deficit with the European country. The price of the jets would ultimately depend on inflation in the United States, global commodity prices "and other factors such as price increases due to the tariffs imposed by the USA worldwide," the government said in a statement. Bern chose the F-35A as its next-generation fighter plane in 2021 for what it considered a fixed price of around 6 billion Swiss francs ($7.47 billion) for 36 jets. The U.S. has since said that sum was a misunderstanding. Talks with the United States to avert the total sum from potentially increasing by $650 million to $1.3 billion showed it was impossible for Switzerland to assert a fixed price, the Swiss government said.

Bessent Warns Europe It's ‘Put Up or Shut Up' Time on Russia

Bessent said sanctions on Russia 'can go up' or 'can be loosened' depending on the outcome of a meeting set for Friday between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin. But the Europeans need to back the idea of harsher measures in any case.
