Billionaire "bond king" Bill Gross told investors to avoid tech stocks and stick to value stocks. Microsoft is the only buy if investors must dabble in the tech sector, he said. In a post on X, the "bond king" said, "Stick to value stocks, avoid tech for now." Bond yields jumped on the data, and the tech sector dropped, with the Nasdaq Composite down more than 1% Thursday afternoon. The stock sold off sharply, down by over 10% late Thursday, helping to drag the tech sector lower.

REUTERS/Charles Mostoller/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 21 (Reuters) - Magellan Midstream Partners' (MMP.N) unitholders on Thursday voted in favour of its sale to larger rival ONEOK Inc (OKE.N) for $18.8 billion, creating one of the largest U.S. energy pipeline companies. Independent proxy advisory firms Glass Lewis & Co and ISS had recommended a vote in favor of the sale. Magellan, in its proxy, cautions that the merger is not conditioned on the compensation vote and that if the acquisition is approved, the executive compensation is payable. Michael Mears, Magellan's previous chief executive officer, also would receive about $26.5 million in equity, while the company's current chief commercial officer and general council will receive multi-million dollar packages. Magellan, however, said it expects ONEOK to consider the outcome of the compensation vote, along with other factors, when considering future executive pay.

NEW YORK/LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) - Global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity fell 36% year-on-year in the second quarter, but investment bankers and lawyers expressed optimism that the stock market's recovery will gradually restore chief executives' dealmaking confidence. "Global uncertainty is what is impacting M&A most - it just makes people uncomfortable. It's easier to say, I'll pass on a deal - nobody gets fired for passing on a deal. M&A volumes in the United States declined by 30% to $318.4 billion, while Europe and Asia Pacific volumes shrank 49% and 24% respectively. Not a single so-called mega-deal, which typically refers to transactions worth over $25 billion, was signed during the quarter.

☆ Here are stocks to own to take the debt ceiling, bond market out of your investing equation
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +18 min

Are the travails of the bond market, like Macbeth expounds, a "tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?" The billionaire class — so incorrectly sought after by the media — so often seems to use the bond market as a sort of intellectual cudgel. That's why I always start my discussion on bonds with the simple query of "where are the layoffs, not forget about stocks, think fixed income." Here the bond market polices only those companies that haven't pivoted to making a profit. They, among all sectors, could be pummeled by the bond market freeze and by the consumers' paralysis.

(Reuters) - Shares of gas pipeline operator ONEOK Inc fell about 9% on Monday on questions about potential synergies from its deal to acquire oil pipeline operator Magellan Midstream Partners. FILE PHOTO: A drilling rig operates in the Permian Basin oil and natural gas production area in Lea County, New Mexico, U.S., February 10, 2019. REUTERS/Nick Oxford/File PhotoONEOK on Sunday said it would pay $18.8 billion in cash and stock for Magellan to diversify its natural gas and gas-liquids transportation business into oil and oil products. “The deferral of Oneok’s corporate cash taxes seems like a major deal component,” Mizuho analysts wrote in a research note. “ONEOK and Magellan have geographical overlap among their assets, but their primary businesses are very different,” Morris said.

Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said on Monday he does not expect any interest-rate cuts this year, while Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said inflation is "much much too high" despite the rate hikes. Investors now await comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Friday for any clues on potential rate cuts this year. Shares of Magellan jumped 13.7%. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.14-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.92-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded six new 52-week highs and seven new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 44 new highs and 110 new lows.

"And as Washington leaks out increments with rolling disclosure about how the discussions are proceeding ... that probably is bolstering confidence in investors." ET, Dow e-minis were up 51 points, or 0.15%, S&P 500 e-minis were up 7.5 points, or 0.18%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 20.75 points, or 0.15%. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said on Monday he does not expect any interest-rate cuts this year as he does not see inflation going down as fast as market participants believe. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and Fed Board Governor Lisa Cook are among other Fed officials set to speak later in the day.

The deal’s price tag amounted to a 22% premium over Magellan’s common units. Photo: Kris Tripplaar/Sipa USA/Associated PressPipeline operator Oneok agreed Sunday to buy smaller rival Magellan Midstream Partners for about $14 billion, a deal that would form one of the biggest U.S. companies involved in transporting and storing energy. The deal’s price tag, including $8.8 billion in equity and $5.1 billion in cash, amounted to a 22% premium over Magellan’s common units as of Friday. Oneok said it would assume Magellan’s $5 billion in net debt. The deal was expected to close in the third quarter, pending the approval of regulators and investors.

May 14 (Reuters) - ONEOK Inc (OKE.N) agreed on Sunday to buy U.S. pipeline operator Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP.N) in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $18.8 billion including debt, bringing natural gas-focused ONEOK into transporting refined products and oil. The deal will give ONEOK, until now a transporter of natural gas liquids and natural gas, access to Magellan's refined products and crude oil transportation business. The combined company will have 44% of its business in NGLs, and 21% in refined products, according to a presentation. The deal comes as U.S. natural gas prices have struggled this year because of oversupply concerns. Crude prices have traded off in 2023 on potential recession fears, although not as badly has natural gas.
