A blockbuster potash bid announced between Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and K+S Group in June could propel global deal value for the second quarter of 2015 to US$16.5 billion. K+S rejected the friendly offer two days after quarter-end. Excluding this deal, the quarter still generated US$7.8 billion in deal value, up from US$3.7 billion recorded in the first quarter.
