This should get the market going on Monday morrning.
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday night that Suncor Energy Inc. is close to acquiring Petro-Canada in a deal that would merge Canada's two biggest oil companies.
The newspaper cited people familiar with the matter as saying Suncor would acquire Petro-Canada for about $15-billion in stock, representing a roughly 30 per cent premium for Petro-Canada.
Spokeswomen for both companies declined to comment, the Journal reported. A deal announcement was expected to come as early as Monday.
