Commerzbank chairman sees little chance of amicable UniCredit merger, report says

Commerzbank's supervisory board chairman Jens Weidmann said there is little chance for an amicable merger with UniCredit after the Italian bank's surprise purchase of a hefty stake in the German lender, Handelsblatt newspaper reported. "It's like any relationship: if the start is unsuccessful, it will be difficult," Weidmann told Handelsblatt in an interview published on Monday. He also expressed doubt that a hostile takeover in the banking sector can create sustainable value.

European banks' record takings fuel M&A talk as pressures on industry persist

For years, pressure on European banks and asset managers to bulk up to better compete with U.S. rivals has been mounting. European banks have enjoyed a run of record profits and soaring shares in the past two years but they, like the region's asset managers, remain far smaller than U.S. peers after American institutions pulled further ahead. Competition will intensify in 2025 as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office, when he is expected to slash red tape for U.S. lenders.

The dollar was trading steady as investors looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, due later Wednesday. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is likely to signal that the central bank will pause rate cuts at some point, UniCredit Research analysts said in a note. The key factor for the foreign exchange market will likely be how Powell "conveys the idea that an upcoming pause would not represent the end of the current easing cycle," they said.

Germany rejects UniCredit's latest Commerzbank stake hike in strongest rebuke yet

MILAN/BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany rejected UniCredit's latest Commerzbank stake increase as an "uncoordinated and unfriendly approach" on Wednesday, strongly rebuking the Italian bank. UniCredit, which angered Berlin when it emerged as Commerzbank's biggest private investor in September, said it had raised its stake in Commerzbank to 28% using derivatives. "Today's news is remarkable because UniCredit had previously publicly emphasised that it did not want to take any further action before the federal elections," a German government spokesperson said in response to the development.

UniCredit's Orcel was plotting bid before Banco BPM forced hand, sources say

MILAN (Reuters) -UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel has been drawing up plans to take over Banco BPM for years and was almost ready to pull the trigger, two sources close to the matter said. But instead of being able to choose the right moment, UniCredit had to rush out a 10 billion euro bid when Italy's third-largest lender made its own M&A moves, putting Orcel's dealmaking reputation on the line. UniCredit, which was already facing headwinds in its pursuit of Germany's Commerzbank, declined to comment.

MILAN (Reuters) -UniCredit is ready to sit down with Credit Agricole, a spokesperson for the Italian bank said in a LinkedIn post after the French lender increased its potential stake in Unicredit's takeover target Banco BPM. UniCredit's bid for its smaller peer prompted Credit Agricole to say on Friday it had entered derivatives that would raise its stake in BPM to 15% from 9.9% once the European Central Bank gives its green light. "Yesterday's news about Credit Agricole's increased stake in BPM changes nothing for UniCredit," the spokesperson for UniCredit said on social media network LinkedIn.
