Trade, politics, tariffs hit metals M&A, PwC says

摘要

The headwinds created by political uncertainties, on-and-off trade negotiations and the enactment of tariffs hurt mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in the metals sector during the second quarter of this year, according to a quarterly report by consultancy group PwC. While overall deal volume remained relatively consistent with the trailing 12-month average, overall disclosed deal volume declined to a 24-month low, PwC noted.
