London's FTSE 100 ended 0.05% higher on Monday as investors monitored renewed tensions between Iran and Israel after the two sides exchanged air strikes overnight for the first time since the April ceasefire.Sentiment improved later in the session after the US pushed to preserve the truce and Iran said it had ended its current wave of strikes against Israel."The de-escalatory tone appears particularly evident from the US side, with Trump reportedly urging Israel not to strike back earlier last night, telling Axios that 'The Iranian strikes didn't hurt anybody.

Tate & Lyle's (TATE.L) stock climbed 13% by Monday midmorning after the company agreed to a cash takeover offer from US-based global ingredients company Ingredion in a deal valuing its share capital at 2.7 billion pounds sterling.As part of the deal, the food and beverage products supplier's shareholders will be paid 5.95 pounds in cash per share, alongside a maximum final dividend of 0.132 pound per share for the fiscal year ended March 31 and an interim dividend of up to 0.068 pound per share for the six months ending Sept. 30, bringing the total value to 6.15 pounds per share.Tate & Lyle's total enterprise value is implied at 3.8 billion pounds considering the cash buyout and agreed dividend payouts.The company's board plans to unanimously recommend the transaction, which will be executed through a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement. The board originally rejected an unsolicited offer from Ingredion of 5.30 pounds per share, but the parties negotiated up to the current total value after four subsequent proposals.Tate & Lyle noted that the board weighed the guarantee of the acquisition against near-term market uncertainty and "suppressed" consumer sentiment. "The Acquisition is expected to deliver more risk-adjusted near-term value to Tate & Lyle Shareholders than other strategic options considered by the Tate & Lyle Board," the company said in its filing.The deal requires approval from a majority of voting Tate & Lyle shareholders, representing at least 75% of the nominal share value, at the court meeting, standard resolutions at the general meeting, and final sanctioning by the court. It is expected to close in the second half of 2027, subject to standard conditions, including material antitrust clearance."Combining Ingredion and Tate & Lyle's complementary portfolios creates a global leader in ingredient solutions with the expertise and geographic reach to help shape the future of food. The combined business will be better positioned to serve customers' needs for the development of great-tasting, healthier and affordable food products that consumers demand. This compelling combination will create exciting new possibilities for employees and generate significant value for all stakeholders," Ingredion Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Zallie said.The combined group is projected to generate $9.9 billion in revenue and $1.8 billion in adjusted EBITDA. Meanwhile, the integration is expected to deliver annual run-rate net cost synergies of $130 million, fully realized by the end of 2030, with one-off expenses to achieve these savings estimated at an aggregate of $175 million.
