points lower at 7,300

gasoline-producing fluidic catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) at its 430,000

barrel-per-day (bpd) Whiting, Indiana, refinery, said sources familiar with

plant operations. * GSK: An independent expert panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

over-the-counter nicotine oral spray that aims to help smokers quit their

addiction. * COCA-COLA HBC: Coca-Cola HBC CCH.L , which bottles Coca-Cola KO.N

products in Europe, has agreed to buy Italian mineral water maker and sparkling

beverage company Lurisia in a deal worth 88 million euros ($97 million), it said

of turbulence, with markets soothed by Saudi Arabia's pledge to restore full

production by end-September at facilities knocked out in drone and missile
