0143 GMT - It's too early to tell what the ramifications may be for Australia-based CSL from Trump's executive order on drug pricing, which aims to lower prices for U.S. consumers, research analysts at Barrenjoey say. It's possible that CSL's key product, immunoglobulin, will be exempt from the program entirely. It's also unclear how the U.S. will determine drug pricing targets; it could be the average price in OECD countries, or simply the lowest price. Barrenjoey notes that U.S. immunoglobulin pricing is on average 15%-20% higher than elsewhere. Barrenjoey is staying bullish on CSL for now. (mike.cherney@wsj.com)
