<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/m-a-activity-in-the-us-and-canada-falls-in-q3-as-deal-value-rises-85741632">S&amp;P Global</a>, M&amp;A activity in the U.S. and Canada lagged compared to 2023.
<ul>
<li>The deal tally for the U.S. and Canada announced in the third quarter was 4,153 — down 4.3% from the preceding quarter, but up 2% from the third quarter of 2023.</li>
<li>Aggregate value amounted to $365.99 billion; up from $301.62 billion in the second quarter and $282.77 billion in the year-ago period.</li>
<li>The first nine months of 2024 saw 12,680 M&amp;A deals in the U.S. and Canada. That&#8217;s less than the 13,203 deals for the same time frame in 2023.</li>
<li>M&amp;A value for the first three quarters of 2024 hovered at around $1.052 trillion — up from $838.32 billion during the three months in 2023.</li>
</ul>
Joe Mantone, who authors the quarterly M&amp;A reports at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, had this to say: 
BZ: Was there anything that surprised you from the latest deal data?
Mantone: The quarter-over-quarter drop in the number of deals is not that surprising given seasonal trends. Dealmaking tends to slow during the third quarter&#8217;s summer months. The year-over-year increase in deals provides a bit of evidence that M&amp;A is recovering. But activity levels are still below historical norms, and the number of transactions announced in the US and Canada haven't fluctuated much over the last six quarters.
BZ: Will Q4 finish strong with the change in benchmark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rates</a>?
Lower rates can create a more conducive backdrop for M&amp;A, and help the number of deals announced move beyond current levels. While it&#8217;s hard to predict activity in any one given quarter, I do think lower rates will serve as a catalyst for M&amp;A as we move into 2025, especially for deals involving private equity. Private equity firms have plenty of dry powder, and the lower interest rates will decrease the cost of acquisition financing, which is beneficial for those using leverage on the buyside. Buyers having access to less expensive debt tends to increase valuations, which can lead to more private equity firms selling portfolio companies.
BZ: How do you expect dealmakers to react post-Election Day?
On the total deal value side, the fourth quarter presents a difficult year-over-year comparison because there were some extremely large deals in the fourth quarter of 2023. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise if there was some pause around the election for bigger transactions, but I doubt that dealmakers will completely change their strategic plans based on the outcome, one way or another.&nbsp;

Shares of companies within the broader metals and mining sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness. Weakness may be due to August's ISM Manufacturing PMI data indicating an economic contraction and pending non-farm payrolls data that may determine the size of future rate cuts.

U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index tumbling over 600 points during the session following weak jobs data. Nonfarm payrolls came in at 114,000 last month, a slowdown of 65,000 from June, and well below the economist consensus estimate of 175,000 according to TradingEconomics.
