PCC rules Robinsons–Premiumbikes deal poses no competition concerns

THE PHILIPPINE COMPETITION COMMISSION (PCC) has cleared Robinsons Supermarket Corp.’s proposed acquisition of Premiumbikes Corp., saying the transaction is unlikely to harm competition.

In a statement on Tuesday, the PCC said the deal would not result in a substantial lessening of competition in any of the relevant markets reviewed. It added that the merged entity would have limited ability or incentive to exercise market power, citing the parties’ relatively small market share and the presence of many competitors.

Robinsons Supermarket is engaged in the wholesale and retail of general merchandise through brands such as Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Easymart, Shopwise, The Marketplace and Uncle John’s. Its do-it-yourself retail segment is operated by Robinsons Handyman, Inc. under Handyman Do It Best and True Value.

Premiumbikes is involved in the wholesale and retail distribution of motorcycles, spare parts and accessories, operating 215 stores nationwide. It carries brands including Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Kymco and TVS.

The PCC said its mergers and acquisitions office assessed markets in cities and municipalities where the parties operate, focusing on motorcycle accessories as well as oils and lubricants. The review drew on information from the companies and inputs from regulators, competitors and trade groups.

In July, Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc., through Robinsons Supermarket signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Premiumbikes from Lance Y. Gokongwei for P146.4 million, or P7.27 per share.

Shares of Robinsons Retail rose 1.94% to P34.15 each on the Philippine Stock Exchange. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
