GATINEAU, Que. — It's likely that Bunge Ltd.'s US$8.2-billion deal to acquire Viterra Ltd. would "substantially" reduce competition in the grain and canola oil markets, the Competition Bureau says. In a report to Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez released Tuesday, the bureau said the deal is likely to hurt competition in markets for grain purchasing in Western Canada as well as for the sale of canola oil in Eastern Canada. The bureau also found that Bunge could influence the behaviour of G3 Glo

Wall Street gears up for a number of big tech earnings this week as many of the tech giants hold much of the value of the S&P 500 (^GSPC). As earnings from the Magnificent Seven roll out, investors may be looking for opportunities to enter the market. Simplify Asset Management Chief Strategist Michael Green and Wealth Enhancement Group Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor Nicole Webb join Market Domination to discuss investment opportunities during this big week of tech earnings and beyond. Webb gives her overview of earnings so far: "To us, it's just all of this playing out of where does the earnings growth for the rest of the year come from, and we had anticipated a deceleration from those mega tech names in the back half of this year. And so kind of below the surface we see this churning, the broadening that everyone is talking about and some of that relative outperformance from places like the equal weight S&P (^SPXEW)." Green follows up with: "I think the biggest surprises that have come out of earnings in general have been things like General Motors' (GM) announcement today that was accompanied by an astonishing buyback where they shrank the quantity of shares by around 17%. This is in contrast, that level of buyback is unprecedented for many of these companies for that to be happening in open markets. And it's just highlighting that the exceptionally cheap areas of the market as long as there's a little bit of support that's coming in through the interest rate space, that really looks like that could be an area of focus."

Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying that both President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu were informed about the arrest.

Real estate investment trust Equity Residential, which owns and manages apartments across the U.S., beat first-quarter FFO estimates on Tuesday due to strong rental demand and relatively lower supply in East Coast markets such as New York and Boston. While rental supply remains elevated across the U.S., the supply pressure relative to demand is less acute on the East Coast as opposed to the Sunbelt region, which includes cities such as Austin and Los Angeles. About 95% of Equity Residential's net income has been coming from its established markets, where supply levels are more stable, with the company's customers on average spending about 20% of their income on rent.

“Challengers” is a bit of a tease. That’s what makes it fun. There is plenty of skin, sweat, close-ups of muscly thighs and smoldering looks of lust and hate in this deliriously over-the-top psychodrama. But get that image of Josh O’Connor,Zendaya and Mike Faist sitting together on the bed out of your mind. Most of this action takes place on the tennis court. It’s still a sexy tennis movie about friendship, love, competition and sport set to a synth-y score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross — i
