I know [USER=15]@Coralin96[/USER] is busy this month so I'll create this thread for anyone to share links/summaries of commercial awareness topics for October.

This one is from Legal Week: https://www.law.com/legal-week/2018/10/04/uk-ma-activity-plummets-as-brexit-effect-begins-to-take-hold/ (paywall).

Key takeaways:

• According to Mergermarket, UK M&A fell by a third during the third quarter (Q3) of 2018.
• The volume of deals fell by 32% compared to Q2.
• The value of UK deals fell by 66% compared to Q2.
• Suspected reasons: Businesses holding off investments for Brexit/few desirable UK assets.
• It can't just be the UK though as global deal values fell by 40% compared to Q2.
