Syngenta (SYT) and DuPont (DD) announced technology licensing agreements that will broaden each company's crop protection product portfolio and enable both to bring new products to market more efficiently. Syngenta has obtained a global license from DuPont to develop products containing DuPont's fungicide oxathiapiprolin. Under the agreements, Syngenta receives exclusive rights for foliar and soil uses on all crops in North America and for lawn and garden uses globally. Syngenta also secures rights on certain crops for seed treatment globally and for the development of foliar and soil uses on certain crops outside of North America. The agreement gives DuPont exclusive access to Syngenta's Solatenol for mixture with DuPont's picoxystrobin fungicide on soybean and other crops in Brazil. Solatenol is a new benz-pyrazole SDHI fungicide which brings a new mode of action with no cross-resistance to existing fungicides. It offers outstanding and long-lasting control of Asian rust in soybean. | | | May 13, 2013 | | 16:25 EDT |  | MON | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were little changed from their opening levels as investors weighed the potential end of the Fed's quantitative easing program against a better than expected report on retail sales. The Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath suggested in a report over the weekend that the Federal Reserve has mapped a QE exit strategy. The report paired with the retail sales data left the market lacking conviction in either direction today, as the averages spent the majority of the session range-bound near the flatline. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., retail sales rose 0.1% in April, which beat expectations for a 0.3% decline. Retail sales excluding autos, gas, and building materials rose 0.6%, which was also better than expected. Business inventories were flat in March, versus expectations for a 0.3% gain. In Asia, Chinese factory output grew 9.3% annually in April, which was up from 8.9% in March but still missed expectations for a 9.5% growth rate. COMPANY NEWS: The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Monsanto's (MON) patented genetically altered soybeans are protected and that farmers cannot use them to create new seeds without paying the company... Dell's (DELL) special committee publicly asked for more information from Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management about their proposed leveraged recapitalization. This request follows television interviews by Icahn last Friday in which he discussed his Dell proposal, as well as a weekend report in Barron's saying the Icahn and Southeastern plan could be a better deal for shareholders. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Theravance (THRX), up $6.26, or 17.92%, to $41.20 after Elan Corporation (ELN) bought a stake in the potential future royalty payments from four respiratory programs partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in exchange for $1B in cash. Also higher was Tesla (TSLA), which rose $11.04, or 14.38%, to $87.80 in its third straight double-digit percentage gain following a better-than-expected earnings report last week. Among the noteworthy losers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), down $2.21, or 9.48%, to $21.10 after the blog InsiderMonkey disputed a previous report about Microsoft's (MSFT) interest in the bookseller's NOOK assets. Also lower was JoS. A. Bank (JOSB), down $3.31, or 7.16%, to $42.90 after the company's first quarter earnings view came in below expectations. INDICES: The Dow was down 26.81, or 0.18%, to 15,091.68; the Nasdaq was up 2.21, or 0.06%, to 3,438.79; and the S&P 500 was nearly unchanged at 1,633.77. | | | 12:20 EDT | | MON | On The Fly: Midday Wrap
