“While oil fundamentals aren’t strong, physical markets do not corroborate the substantial weakness in flat price,” New York-based Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Longson said in a report Monday. The “latest oil pricing pressure appears more financial than physical.” Bloomberg

China’s weak economy is creating concerns that oil consumption in the country will fall amid oversupply, Reuters reports.

Mylan NV, clarified certain inaccuracies by third parties related to Mylan having lowered the acceptance condition in its offer to acquire Perrigo Company plc (NYSE: PRGO; TASE) from not less than 80% of Perrigo ordinary shares to greater than 50% of Perrigo ordinary shares.

Mylan Executive Chairman Robert J. Coury commented, “As we have stated repeatedly, Mylan remains fully confident that Perrigo’s shareholders will see the value in this compelling combination and that more than 80% of Perrigo ordinary shares will be tendered into Mylan’s offer, once launched following the approval of Mylan shareholders. With that said, Mylan is fully committed and prepared to operate Perrigo as a controlled partner of Mylan in the unlikely event that greater than 50%, but less than 80%, of Perrigo ordinary shares are tendered and we would like to clarify certain implications of such a situation.
