Cheapest UK supermarket: Lidl beats Aldi, Tesco and Asda
Which? found that Lidl had beaten Aldi for the first time since October 2023. The products included Hovis sliced bread, milk and cheese, and the consumer experts checked prices at eight of the UK's biggest supermarkets throughout July. Supermarket average price for 76 items According to the Which? report, Lidl was the cheapest overall, beating rival discounter Aldi by £1.25 if you had a Lidl Plus card, or 85p if not. The third cheapest was Asda, which doesn't offer loyalty pricing in the same way as the others. Tesco without a loyalty card was still cheaper than shopping at Morrisons with one. Sainsbury's was running Nectar price promotions on 15 items, while Tesco had Clubcard prices on 16. Meanwhile, Morrisons had two More scheme discounts on items in our basket, and Lidl had three items on our list with a loyalty discount. Waitrose had no loyalty deals on the shopping list items. It was the most expensive supermarket again this month, averaging £170.91 – that's over £42 (or 33%) more than Lidl. UK inflation rose to a near 18-month high this summer as food prices shot up for the third month running. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Consumer Prices Index inflation rose to 3.6% in June, up from 3.4% in May and the highest since January 2024. The increase was unexpected, with most economists forecasting inflation to remain unchanged at 3.4%. Chancellor Rachel Reeves says there's 'more to do' to help bring inflation down. She said: 'I know working people are still struggling with the cost of living.' 'There is more to do and I'm determined we deliver on our Plan for Change to put more money into people's pockets,' she added. Rob Mansfield, Independent Financial Advisor at Rootes Wealth Management, says: 'The cost of living crisis continues to bite. The rise in motor fuels was expected given the war in the Middle East and it shows how vulnerable our island is to events all over the globe. "Most people can't avoid these price rises, so they ask for higher wages, which can in turn drive up prices.' The figures come after gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.1% in May, following a 0.3% fall in April and leading to fears of a contraction overall in the third quarter. Recommended reading: Borrowing costs are set to ease further as the Bank of England contends with stagnant growth and rising unemployment, experts have predicted. Most economists think the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points to 4% on Thursday. Interest rates have been steadily cut over the past year from a peak of 5.25%.

High-grade US firms finance new M&A with more equity and cash, less debt
Aug 5 (Reuters) - Top-rated U.S. companies have financed their acquisitions mostly with equity and cash instead of debt this year, and could continue doing so even as M&A activity and hopes of interest rate cuts rise, bankers and investors said. High debt costs and worries of credit-rating downgrades for taking on debt made funding acquisitions with cash and stock with sky-high valuations more compelling, they said. Last week, rail operator Union Pacific (UNP.N), opens new tab announced an $85-billion deal to acquire Norfolk Southern (NSC.N), opens new tab, and analysts expect it to finance the deal mostly with stock, some cash, and $15 billion to $20 billion of debt. The deal could set a record for the largest buyout in the sector. Such cash-and-stock deals have become popular due to a narrowing gap between the pre-tax costs of equity and debt, according to Piers Ronan, co-head of debt capital markets at Atlanta-based investment bank Truist Securities. Some $250 billion, or 11% of total M&A funding this year, was stock funding, while 15.3% of deal volume was funded by a mix of cash and stock, according to LSEG data. This compares with $441 billion, or 14% of all M&A funding in 2024 that was stock-funded and 7% cash-and-stock funded, the data showed. "Debt is not really so attractive right now -- because equity is so attractive," Ronan said, pointing to its attractive earnings yield (.EWGSPC), opens new tab. Many corporations have posted strong earnings and generate healthy free cash flow, which has contributed to "an uptick in equity financing of M&A transactions and a little less reliance on debt financing," said Natalie Trevithick, head of investment grade strategy at Los Angeles-based asset manager Payden & Rygel. Investment-grade companies have also grown wary of adding debt to avoid downgrades, which could increase their funding costs. Ratings agencies Moody's, S&P, and Fitch warned their ratings on Union Pacific could be downgraded if the company pushes its leverage higher due to its planned Norfolk Southern acquisition. '(A ratings downgrade) is going to have a pretty big impact on how your bonds trade in the secondary market,' said Mike Sanders, head of fixed income at Madison, Wisconsin-based asset manager Madison Investments. Sanders pointed to the poor trading performance of media company Warner Bros Discovery's (WBD.O), opens new tab bonds following its announced split into two separate publicly-traded companies and downgrade to junk status in June. Less reliance on debt by M&A-intent companies could cause end-of-year volumes for investment-grade issuance to fall short of their $1.5-trillion level in 2024, bankers said. The average spread on investment-grade bonds was last at 82 basis points, just shy of the 77-bps level it touched in 1998, according to the ICE BofA U.S. Corporate Index. Kyle Stegemeyer, head of investment-grade debt capital markets and syndicate at Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank, expects M&A-related bond supply to total $225 billion in 2025. "As we move deeper into the year, it becomes less likely that we get the large multinational transformational M&A financed this year to help drive the numbers materially higher," Stegemeyer said.
