Danone Acquisition of Whitewave Wins U.S. Antitrust Approval

(Bloomberg) -- Danone agreed to sell its Stonyfield Farms brand for its $12.5 billion acquisition of WhiteWave Foods, the Justice Department said
  • Without the sale, the acquisition would reduce competition in the market for organic milk, potentially harming dairy farmers in the northeast and U.S. consumers, the government said
  • Stonyfield must be sold to independent buyer approved by the U.S.
  • Settlement with the antitrust division filed in federal court in Washington

HALISTER1: Treasury Yields Too High Even After Rally, PGIM’s Peters Says

Treasury Yields Too High Even After Rally, PGIM’s Peters Says

(Bloomberg) -- “The bias is not for higher rates, but for lower rates,” Greg Peters, senior investment officer at Prudential Financial Inc.’s fixed-income investing unit PGIM, says in an interview.
  • “We still think rates are too high” as 10-year U.S. yield falls to lowest level since February; the benchmark may decline to 2.1 percent this year, Peters says
  • Peters co-manages the $21.7 billion Prudential Total Return Bond Fund; biggest stakes as of Feb. 28 include five- and 10-year Treasury futures
  • He has less confidence in a flatter yield curve as Fed officials discuss reducing the bank’s balance sheet
  • Market had too much enthusiasm for stronger economic growth and inflation; expects price growth to subside in the months ahead
  • Sees “better value” in some EM currencies; trimming long MXN positions after rally last month
