Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Entertainment Brown-Forman ( BF.A ) (BR.B) rose 3.2% amid speculation that Pernod Ricard ( PDRDF ) ( PRNDY ) may attempt another takeover offer after talks collapsed. Pernod Ricard ( PDRDF ) may have tried to restart talks and indicated that it may be willing to pay around $32 in cash for the maker of Jack Daniel's whiskey, according to traders, who cited a Betaville "uncooked" alert that was circulating on Thursday. Brown-Forman is said to be working with Morgan Stanley on the deal discussions. The report comes after Brown-Forman ( BF.B ) and Pernod Ricard ( PDRDF ) last Tuesday said that deal talks were terminated as the spirits makers were unable to reach mutually acceptable terms. While talks with Pernod Ricard may have ended, Sazerac offered to buy Brown-Forman ( BF.A ) ( BF.B ) for about $15 billion, or $32 per share, the WSJ reported last month.

Smederevac India has received bids exceeding $900 per ton for phosphate fertilizer in a latest tender, underscoring how the conflict in the Middle East is driving up costs for key agricultural imports, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing traders with knowledge of the process. The tender, issued by Indian Potash, drew offers ranging from about $930 to $1,100 per ton. Around 18 suppliers participated, collectively offering roughly 2.3 million tons, nearly twice the volume India was seeking. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to discuss the details publicly. Although the Middle East is not a dominant supplier of phosphate fertilizers compared with nitrogen-based products, it plays a critical role in the supply chain. The region accounts for nearly half of global sulfur output, a key ingredient used to produce the acid required for processing phosphate fertilizers. That supply is now at risk due to potential disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. Sulfur prices have climbed to their highest levels in more than a decade, according to Green Markets data. Meanwhile, the cost of phosphate shipments into India, including freight, has risen by nearly 30% since the onset of the Iran conflict, based on figures from Argus Media. India has also recently secured 2.5 million tons of urea at prices close to double those seen before the conflict. These purchases come at a critical time, as farmers prepare for planting monsoon crops such as rice, corn, and soybeans.
